The draft plan is only a few days old, but has already come under attack for being inadequately deferential to suburban developers. Instead, the plan focuses on redevelopment and infill in developed areas, developing a network of connected greenways and waterways, developing economic sectors through partnerships, containing Austin's cost of living and conserving water, energy, land, and other natural resources.
