Master Plan
The time is now to create a bold and visionary future for Downtown Little Rock!
The Downtown Little Rock Master Plan is the first of its kind planning effort for Downtown Little Rock to create a strategic vision for growth and development in order to create a better future for downtown and its users. Additionally, the vision will provide enhanced connections to the rest of the city, creating a quality public realm and increasing quality of life for residents, workers and visitors.
The project, funded by the City of Little Rock and done in collaboration with the Downtown Little Rock Partnership, was a nine-month long planning effort using public input to create strategic goals and actions around topics such as development and urban design, streets and mobility, infrastructure and transportation, and parks and open space. The planning effort study was led by Sasaki, a Boston and Denver-based planning and urban design firm.
JUST THE BEGINNING...
Our plan lays out bold strategies to double our downtown population by 2035, connect our cultural assets, and transform our transportation networks. It calls on us to embrace the Arkansas River, an incredible natural resource our city is not using to its fullest potential. It’s about making Downtown Little Rock a destination that is not only safe and welcoming but also dynamic and inclusive.
LET'S WORK TOGETHER
To bring this vision to life, we need you. Your energy, your passion, and your voice are crucial to shaping the future of our Downtown. Join us in this exciting journey to make Downtown Little Rock the hub of urban life and outdoor recreation for all of Arkansas. Let’s roll up our sleeves and turn this plan into reality. Together, we can rebuild and reimagine the urban fabric for our city center, one that reflects the vibrant spirit of Little Rock.
