The Imagine Austin Year 10 Report provides a high-level summarization of the past decade of the City of Austin’s work toward comprehensive plan implementation. The content is organized by six core principles for action: grow as a compact, connected city; integrate nature into the city; provide paths to prosperity for all; develop as an affordable and healthy community; sustainably manage water, energy, and other environmental resources; think creatively and work together. The report is an opportunity to communicate the stories, successes, and challenges to plan implementation; it should not be considered an update to or refresh of Imagine Austin.

Reaching a ten-year milestone of the City's comprehensive plan is significant and to be celebrated. However, over the last few years, the City of Austin- and the world - have permanently changed because of a series of unprecedented events. While many of the issues that plague us - a global pandemic; systemic racism and police brutality; unaffordable rental prices and continued evictions; fears over emerging infectious diseases; and inflation, just to name a few - continue, we have learned to adapt and refocus our efforts.
