Public Meeting: Federal Urban Design Element Open House

NCPC and AIA DC host an open house to present the draft polices for the Comprehensive Plan for the National Capital’s new Federal Urban Design Element. Drop by for 15 minutes or stay the entire time at the District Architecture Center between 6:00-8:00 pm.

The new Element will establish policies that guide federal agencies in developing and maintaining federal buildings and properties in a manner that enhances the public realm and better integrates federal facilities into their surrounding neighborhood. The Element also provides policies which support the federal government in maintaining and improving Washington, DC as a capital city and an evolving, competitive 21st century city.
