Livability Framework
The residents of 22202 from Crystal City, Arlington Ridge, and Aurora Highlands have committed to tackling the challenges facing our area with holistic strategies based on shared livability themes to create a better, more livable city. Our shared area encompasses diverse populations and neighborhoods, yet we have many common needs. Designing a livable city requires a comprehensive approach to shaping the built environment to enhance the physical and social health and well-being of all inhabitants and to strengthen community.

Future Cities Project
The Crystal City Business Improvement District published a strategic plan in May 2019 that will determine objectives for the BID as an organization and a new collective vision for the area as a cohesive and reinvigorated downtown community. The plan serves as a basis for continued engagement with the community and area stakeholders. To learn more about the plan, please click here.
