The Division of Planning and Development (DPD) is pleased to announce the release of the Smart Memphis Plan, a guide for how city government can advance use of technology, analysis of data, and deployment of fiber over the next five years to help improve economic opportunity and quality of life for Memphis residents and businesses. This plan is a product of collaboration between DPD, the City’s Office of Performance Management (OPM), Information Technology Division (ITD), and multiple partner divisions and agencies.
The Smart Memphis Plan is informed by and builds on the work of the Memphis 3.0 Comprehensive Plan-- the foundational planning document articulating the City’s vision of how to grow smarter, to “build up, not out”-- and a culmination of work to advance data-driven governance led by Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland.
