Committee of 100 on the Federal City
The Committee of 100 on the Federal City, locally referred to as the Committee of 100, is a private, nonprofit membership organization which promotes responsible land use and planning in Washington, D.C., and advocates adherence to the L'Enfant Plan and McMillan Plan as a guide to city growth. It is one of the most influential private land use planning bodies in Washington, D.C.
==About the organization==
The goal of the Committee of 100 on the Federal City is to promote responsible land use and planning in Washington, D.C. The ''Washington Post'' has characterized the committee's approach as conservative, which is to say desiring to maintain the status quo.〔(Craig, Tim. "Committee of 100 Wants Klein, Tregoning Ousted." ''Washington Post.'' November 18, 2010. ) Accessed 2013-03-25.〕 The committee believes its goals can best be achieved by adhering to the 1791 L'Enfant Plan and the 1902 McMillan Plan.〔DePillis, Lydia. "The Smart-Growth Set." ''Washington City Paper.'' September 3, 2010.〕〔Berg, p. 312-313.〕 The committee is also strongly interested in historic preservation.〔
The group is a nonprofit organization. Its members are primarily white collar professionals, although not necessarily professionals involved in urban planning, real estate development, or architecture.〔MacGovern, p. 229.〕
The Committee of 100 is one of the oldest citizen-based urban planning groups in the United States.〔 It is generally considered one of the most effective and highly influential private planning bodies in Washington, D.C.〔〔Robin, p. 29.〕 Reporter Lydia DePillis, writing for the ''Washington City Paper'' said in 2010, "Thanks to their relentless advocacy, D.C. remains a walking-scale city, retaining many of the elements of a healthy urban environment..."〔 The committee is credited with keeping superhighways from being built in the city, and for winning passage of the Washington Metro in the face of intense congressional opposition.〔(Castro, Melissa. "The Committee of 100 on the Federal City, Founded in 1923, Could Be the City's Worst Nightmare or Its Ultimate Savior, Depending On Your Viewpoint." ''Washington Business Journal.'' May 27, 2011. ) Accessed 2013-03-25.〕 But it has also been criticized as too wedded to the status quo. ''Washington City Paper'' reporter Lydia DePillis characterized it in 2011 as "crusty" for its vehement opposition to change〔(DePillis, Lydia. "Committee of 100 Honors Arena Stage, Streetcar Gadfly, More!" ''Washington City Paper.'' May 11, 2011. ) Accessed 2013-03-25.〕 and its members as "civic worthies" for representing only wealthy, white residents.〔DePillis, Lydia. "Let It Grow." ''Washington City Paper.'' December 17, 2010.〕 The Committee of 100 has strongly denied it is anti-development. Rather, it claims to merely want well-planned development.〔
