Strategic Direction 2023 is inspired by the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. As the City focuses on improving quality of life in the Austin community, Strategic Direction 2023 guides the next three to five years and outlines imperatives to advance equitable outcomes across Austin.

Getting us where we want to go, when we want to get there, safely and cost effectively

Enjoying a sustainable environment and a healthy life, physically and mentally

Being safe in our homes, at work, and in our community

Being enriched by Austin's unique civic, cultural, ethnic, and learning opportunities

Having economic opportunities and resources that enable us to thrive in our community

Believing that City government works effectively and collaboratively for all of us - that it is equitable, ethical, and innovative
