Moving Atlanta Forward Agenda

Mayor Dickens is Moving Atlanta Forward through a progressive agenda focused on opportunity, public safety and investment for the future – for everyone.

A City of Opportunity for All

The City’s housing plan is rooted in the belief that all Atlantans should have access to safe, quality and affordable housing.

ATL Year of the Youth

2023 is Atlanta's Year of the Youth. Mayor Dickens’ initiative seeks to equip all of Atlanta's young people – from birth to 24 years of age – with tools and resources to succeed.

One Safe City

Mayor Dickens’ balanced approach to public safety is working to keep all our neighborhoods safe and welcoming for residents, visitors and businesses.

Infrastructure Package

In 2022, Atlanta voters approved three ballot measures that invest $750M in transportation, recreation, public safety and arts projects across the city.

FY2026 Proposed Budget

The Fiscal Year 2026 Budget outlines a $3 billion operating plan, including $975.4 million for the General Fund—a 14% increase from FY2025’s adopted $853.8 million budget. Together with $9.3 billion in capital funding, the proposal represents more than $12 billion in investments to support Atlanta’s residents, employees, and infrastructure.

Art & Culture

Experiences with art and culture enrich our lives. The City supports local creative communities and works to advance resident access to cultural and artistic programming.

Neighborhood Planning Units (NPUs)

Atlanta's neighborhoods are divided into 25 NPUs which provide a means for engaging, informing and connecting residents to City projects and resources.

Sustainability & Resilience

Atlanta is leading the way to a cleaner, more climate resistant future. The City’s efforts are guided by its goal of achieving 100% clean energy by 2025.
