Background
The boundaries of Buffalo's neighborhoods have changed over time. The city is officially divided into five areas with each containing several neighborhoods; in total, there are 35 of them in the city.Some neighborhoods in Buffalo have seen increased investment since the 1990s, beginning with the Elmwood Village. The redevelopment of the Larkin Terminal Warehouse in 2002 led to the creation of the Larkin District, home to several mixed-use projects and anchored by corporate offices. Downtown Buffalo and the central business district saw a 10.6% increase in residents from 2010–2017 as over 1,061 units of housing came online, continuing into 2020 with the redevelopment of the Seneca One Tower. Other revitalized areas include Chandler Street in the Grant-Amherst neighborhood and Hertel Avenue in the North Park neighborhood.
In 2017, the Buffalo Common Council adopted its Green Code, which was the first overhaul of the city's zoning code since 1953. Its emphasis on regulations which promote pedestrian safety and mixed usage of land earned an award at the Congress for New Urbanism conference in 2019.
