Rooted and Growing: Neighborhood Change

As one of the nation's fastest-growing cities, change is inevitable. Raleigh's Next Comprehensive Plan will continue to explore how we balance existing neighborhoods with future development. Planning for a city that reflects us all, both current and future residents, will be a key discussion that shapes our city's future.

Community Conversation

This Community Conversation featured two nights of presentations and a discussion about Raleigh’s infrastructure and services.
