Mayor Wu Files Ordinance to Create City Planning Department
Mayor Michelle Wu has filed an ordinance to move the BDPA under City Hall's jurisdiction and create a city planning department. The proposal would put the agency's budget and oversight under City Council control with divisions for planning, design, development review, and real estate. The ordinance is part of Wu's efforts to restructure the city planning process which have been in the works since she released a white paper in 2019 calling for the dissolution of the BPDA.
