Welcome to Downtown Voices Coalition! DVC is a coalition of stakeholder organizations that embrace growth in downtown Phoenix, but is mindful that healthy growth should be based upon existing downtown resources — the vibrancy of neighborhoods, the strength of the arts community, the uniqueness of historic properties, and the wonderful small businesses that dot downtown.  All of these assets should be stepping stones to be built upon, rather than shattered in the wake of rampant downtown development.

Our website is organized thematically by our different priority issues: coordination of planning, design guidelines, small business, neighborhoods, affordable housing, historic preservation, arts and culture, public spaces, transportation, and diversity/cultural inclusion.
