The 1947 Comprehensive Plan -- The last formally adopted general plan for the City of St. Louis -- was prepared more than fifty years ago. In the early 1970's efforts were made to prepare a new master plan. Because of substantial controversy, an interim plan was adopted in 1975, with the idea that the new Community Development Agency would soon prepare a definitive comprehensive plan. Priorities changed however, and while there have been lots of redevelopment plans, functional plans and neighborhood plans during the intervening years, a new overall comprehensive plan remains to be prepared.
| The 1947 plan reflects the popularity of certain post-war concepts, including urban renewal, highways and helicopters. It is a fascinating document that envisions a different kind of St. Louis. |
