We hope these plans, policies, and reports will be useful to you while you live, work, invest, and play in the City of Brookfield.

2050 Comprehensive Plan
The City of Brookfield 2050 Comprehensive Plan guides physical change and decision-making over the next 10 to 30 years to achieve the City’s future vision. Brookfield’s 2050 Vision, articulated in the separate Community Vision Report, reads as follows: “Located in the heart of Southeastern Wisconsin, the City of Brookfield is a community of choice for families and businesses and a premier sustainable place to live, work, shop, and play.”
The Plan is presented through several chapters, incrementally laid out to communicate and elaborate upon the nine guiding principles of the City’s 2050 Vision. This organization by plan principle reinforces the linkage between the City’s 2050 Vision and the interrelated approaches to realize that Vision. It forms the tool for evaluating community performance in fulfilling the goals and strategies of the adopted Plan. See the following link to the plan:

Comprehensive Plan UpdateThe City is obligated to update its comprehensive plan every ten years per the State of Wisconsin's comprehensive planning legislation (Section 66.1001 of the Wisconsin Statutes). Every decennial update is an opportunity for the community to affirm the values that establish Brookfield's vision for the future. The City adopted its 2050 Comprehensive Plan in March of 2019 with aid by Vandewalle & Associates. See the following link to the webpage containing information on this city wide planning effort: |
