The "urban core" defined in the city's Smart Growth plan corresponds to the boundaries of the city's urban watersheds, comprised of the following creeks: Johnson, Shoal, Waller, Boggy, Tannehill, and Fort north of Town Lake, and Bouldin, Blunn, and Harper's Branch on the south side.
This program of the city's Planning, Environmental & Conservation Services Department consists of seven planners who work with neighborhood representatives to produce a neighborhood plan. Expect this program to grow in the new budget year with an additional eight planners and four interns to keep up with the growing workload.

While the city already has a Neighborhood Officer, there's talk of creating a neighborhood services system to handle such neighborhood needs as broken streetlights and other public services on a local basis. This system would include front-line staff at neighborhood centers located in each of the city's six police sectors.
