Update: Connections 2050 Land Use Vision

The Update: Connections 2050 Land Use Vision defines a regional visualization for Centers-based development and the preservation of agricultural and natural lands. The Land Use Vision divides the entire region up into four layers: Infill and Redevelopment areas, Emerging Growth areas, Rural Resource Lands, and the Greenspace Network. Overlaid on these land use areas are 176 Centers, which are points of more concentrated development around which new development should be focused. Plan Centers provide a structure for coordinating land use with infrastructure investments, enabling the most efficient provision of transportation, water, sewer, and other critical services. Prioritizing growth in and around Centers supports the Plan’s goals by preserving open space, protecting natural resources, and fostering vibrant, walkable, and connected communities. By emphasizing Centers, the Plan promotes an accessible and more efficient regional development pattern that enhances quality of life for all. GREENSPACE NETWORK The Plan proposes linking and expanding the region’s existing protected natural areas into a Greenspace Network, where parks, forests, meadows, stream corridors, and floodplains are joined together in an interconnected system. The Greenspace Network is based on the twin principles of protecting core natural resource areas and linking them with greenways to create a connected system of naturally vegetated open space spanning urban, suburban, and rural areas.

The Plan has two primary documents: (1) Update: Connections 2050 Summary Document (https://www.dvrpc.org/products/25137b) identifies the vision, goals, strategies, and a summary of the financial plan. (2) The Update: Connections 2050 Appendices (www.dvrpc.org/Products/25140b) provides a more detailed look at the Plan’s outreach, background information, analysis, and financial plan. 7/25/23 - Land Use Vision GIS dataset was merged with Greenspace Network

《更新：连通2050土地利用愿景》（Update: Connections 2050 Land Use Vision）界定了以开发中心为核心的发展模式与农业、自然用地保护框架，并配套区域可视化方案。该土地利用愿景将全域划分为四大类别：填充与再开发区、新兴增长区、乡村资源用地及绿地网络（Greenspace Network）。在上述土地用地区域之上，叠加了176处开发中心（Centers）——此类区域开发集中度更高，新开发项目应围绕此类节点集中布局。规划中心（Plan Centers）为土地利用与基础设施投资的协同推进提供统筹框架，可实现交通、供水、排污及其他关键公共服务的高效供给。优先在开发中心及周边区域推进开发，可通过保护开放空间、守护自然资源，打造充满活力、适宜步行且互联互通的社区，从而助力规划目标达成。通过聚焦开发中心的发展路径，本规划倡导更具可达性、更高效的区域发展模式，切实提升全体居民的生活品质。

绿地网络（Greenspace Network）
本规划提议将区域内现有受保护自然区域进行连通与扩容，整合为绿地网络系统，将公园、森林、草甸、溪流廊道与洪泛区串联为互联互通的有机整体。该绿地网络基于两大核心原则：一是保护核心自然资源片区，二是通过绿道将其相连，构建覆盖城市、郊区与乡村全域的自然植被开放空间互联系统。
