Responsible Development & Land Use

Fort Lauderdale's desirable climate, attractive business environment and outstanding quality of life, create the perfect scenario for growth. Even through tough economies, people and businesses continue to move here so that now we are the most populous city in Broward County. Our job is to promote and support smart growth. Key strategies are the proper designing and siting of new development and redevelopment, and also the responsible use of land. Many of our developers and corporate neighbors are helping us to make progress, but you don't need to be a big business or builder to get involved. Simple updates at home, in your neighborhood and in your office help us all to build a sustainable Fort Lauderdale.
