Addressing Climate and Justice Together

Pittsburgh is dedicated to fighting climate change. It's also dedicated to tackling the racial, social, and environmental problems that have hurt many communities in the city. In the past, unfair practices, like racist land-use policies, divided neighborhoods and led to economic inequality. This especially affected Black residents in Pittsburgh and other U.S. cities. It’s important to recognize and fix these issues as we plan for the city’s future.

A Comprehensive Plan for All Residents

This plan isn’t just about correcting the mistakes of the past. It’s about making sure every resident in every neighborhood feels included in Pittsburgh’s future. The plan will look at how culture, society, the environment, and the economy affect land use, zoning, and other city policies. To do this, the city and its consultants will work closely with the community to ensure that all voices are heard. Together, we will create a vision for a fairer, greener, and more welcoming Pittsburgh.
