City of Dublin Strategic Framework
Dublin has a long been known for thinking ahead. The City has developed numerous strategic plans through the years to serve resident and employer needs through all aspects of municipal government. This thoughtful planning has led to the vibrant, historic district and the exciting new Bridge Street District, which are woven together by the internationally-recognized Dublin Link pedestrian bridge spanning the Scioto. These are just two of several versatile districts that unite a proud history with an exuberant and innovative future.
In 2020, Dublin City Council established a goal to develop a Dublin 2035 Visionary Framework. After an extensive planning and public engagement effort, Dublin City Council adopted a new Strategic Framework on July 25, 2022. The values we hold most dear and the guiding principles we adhere to make it possible for Dublin to be bold in its vision. As described in the following pages, Dublin aspires to be the most sustainable, connected and resilient global city of choice.
The Framework outlines goals related to the City’s economic, fiscal and environmental stewardship; world-class services and amenities; and physical, mental, social and emotional well-being. It also includes goals related to our state-of-the-art infrastructure, including expansive broadband capability that ensures a minimum of 10-gigabit access to all residents, businesses and visitors.
With this Strategic Framework in place and an elite, professional team of elected officials and City employees at work, Dublin is in an outstanding position to continue thriving as a model democracy and exceptional community with the best quality of life.
