Livable Centers Initiative

The Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) is a planning program that helps communities develop vibrant, walkable neighborhoods by focusing on mixed-use areas with shops, offices, and homes close together. Its goal is to create convenient, attractive places where people can live, work, and socialize without relying heavily on cars. LCI promotes thoughtful land use, improved transportation options, and sustainable development to enhance quality of life, boost local economies, and reduce traffic congestion. It involves community input and strategic planning to design areas that are accessible, efficient, and enjoyable for residents and visitors alike.
