Preliminary Vision Themes
The preliminary vision themes were developed using the framework provided from the Strategic
Plan along with the emerging themes identified through extensive public outreach efforts to best
address the thoughts and concerns of the community.
4. A Well-Planned City - We consistently improve our community’s quality of life as it grows
and changes, honoring our sense of place and the ‘Bozeman feel’ as we plan for a livable,
affordable, more connected city. (From the Strategic Plan)
The above theme will be supported by six themes that have been developed from Phase 1 public
comment:
The Shape of the City (4.1 An Informed Conversation on Growth)
The shape of our City is defined by our spectacular natural landscape that surrounds us,
our mid-rise horizon defined by our distinct buildings and the people that choose to call
Bozeman home.
A City of Neighborhoods (4.2 High Quality Urban Approach)
Our City is made up of a series of distinct historic, traditional, and non-traditional
neighborhoods, defined by commercial nodes, a variety of quality housing, walkable
centers, schools and/or other civic amenities, parks and other community gathering areas.
A City Anchored by Downtown and Complementary Districts (4.4 Downtown, Midtown, University)
(to be coordinated with the Downtown Plan)
Our City is anchored by our Downtown, Midtown, and University areas that include an
intensity of housing, businesses, culture, education and the arts, resulting in thriving,
enriching, healthy and inspiring environments.
A City Influenced by our Mountains, Open Space, Trails, and Parks
An outdoor-conscious City that celebrates our natural environment, immediate access to
open space and trails and parks we enjoy.
An Inclusive City of Life-Long Learning and Creative Culture
Our City thrives on inclusivity, creativity, education, and respectful dialogue that promote
a sense of shared values and stimulates innovation.
A City that Prioritizes Mobility Choices (to be coordinated with the Transportation Master Plan)
Our City offers residents and visitors a choice to move efficiently and safely using a
variety of new and emerging modes on comfortable complete streets, walkable centers,
and pathways that connect our entire City.
