The Sustainable Cities: PLUS Network catalyzes action on urban sustainability through integrated long-term planning and demonstration projects in cities around the world.

PLUS is a network of over 40 cities and communities from around the world who share their learning and best practices about integrated long-term planning for sustainability.

Member cities of the PLUS Network commit to building on their existing planning process through the use of a long-term lens. While each city's approach is different, the process typically includes developing 50 to 100 year visions, with 30 year strategies, and 5 year implementation plans. Each city or region identifies at least one immediate demonstration project that will revitalize and renew the community. Members participate in regular peer exchanges, which give them opportunities to share their work and learn from one another's experiences related to city and community planning issues.

The collaborative experience of the Sustainable Cities: PLUS Network helps cities to be resilient in the face of economic, ecological and social shocks and stresses.
