The Regional Planning Commission of Greater Birmingham (RPCGB) is seeking proposals from qualified Consultant Teams/Firm(s) to develop a City Center Master Plan for Birmingham, Alabama. The Plan will serve as a guide for investment projects and should set forth the City's vision for the future of the City Center area. The Consultant Team selected for this project will have expertise in some or all of the following disciplines: urban planning, zoning and form based codes, land use planning, urban design, market analyses, transportation planning and landscape architecture.

The City Center is comprised of approximately 2,550 acres (or 3.98 square miles). The Birmingham City Center Master Plan will be comprehensive in scope incorporating elements of land use, zoning, urban design, parking, and strategic planning into a coordinated vision and implementation program that will identify short, medium and long term projects for public and private investment in the City Center for the next 10-15 years. The plan will be guided by a detailed market analysis that will examine retail, residential, office and industrial trends and will establish future market demand. The plan will also focus on furthering the development of the sub-districts within the heart of the City Center, such as the Birmingham Civil Rights District, the Innovation District, and the Local Historic Districts, and will address potential new redevelopment areas.
