Midland City Modern is a Master Plan for the City of Midland, adopted in accordance with the Michigan Planning Enabling Act (Act 33 of 2008). This plan is more than just a document; it's a comprehensive strategy designed to guide our city's growth, development, and revitalization over the next three decades. At its core, this plan is crafted through a synergy of community input and professional expertise, ensuring that our shared vision for Midland's future is both ambitious and achievable.

​

Why "City Modern"? Midland has long been celebrated as the "City of Modern Explorers", a nod to our rich mid-20th-century modernist heritage in architecture, culture, and design. The City Modern master planning initiative represents an opportunity for the entire community to redefine what "modern" means for Midland in the 21st century, setting the stage for innovation, exploration, and growth.
