• Capitol Mall Centennial Plan

2

• Phoenix is both the capital and the largest
  city in Arizona.
• Symbolically, the Capitol Mall represents the
  State and its aspirations
• functionally, it accommodates the executive,
  legislative, and judicial
• branches of government.

Because of its proximity
to downtown, the Capitol Mall is poised for an
inclusive revitalization and redevelopment that
will establish Phoenix as a national exemplar of
the 21st century Capitol City.
The Capitol Mall Centennial
Plan has been developed to achieve the
significant goal. Unlike many historical
capitol districts, which are isolated and
uninviting, the Capitol Mall, as envisioned in
the Capitol Mall Centennial Plan, features a
series of sustainable connective
infrastructures that make public spaces and
services more accessible enhance the efficiency
of the complex and facilitate more effective
governance and promote an identity for a
world-class capitol community.
