HOW DO I GET INVOLVED?

There are many ways to get involved and stay informed. The City will host a series of pop-up events, community workshops, and other meetings to facilitate the planning process. We will be regularly updating this site on upcoming activities.

Neighborhood Growth and Change Open Houses (Summer 2019)

To solicit community feedback on neighborhood character and growth, the City and County of Honolulu held a series of three public workshops corresponding to major regions of the PUC: East (Wai‘alae-Kāhala to Ala Moana), Central (Punchbowl to Kalihi-Pālama), and West (Moanalua to Pearl City). The open houses focused mostly on future land use and development in the surrounding neighborhoods but also broadly across the entire Primary Urban Center. Residents will have the opportunity to learn about proposed land use guidance, to vote on preferred options, to ask City & County staff questions, and to share knowledge of local conditions or issues.
