Urban Design Standards

In recent years, areas of Downtown Fort Worth have been immensely successful in attracting people back to the central city to live, work, play, shop, and learn. The renaissance of downtown can be partially attributed to the authentic urban quality of these areas. This urban quality has been preserved in some buildings, streets, and corridors such as along Main Street and in Sundance Square. It has also been recreated in other places such as Sundance East, and the Firestone and Hillside neighborhoods, Trinity Bluff and Along Houston and Throckmorton.
