The General Report on the Plan for the National Capital (1946–1950), or Greber Plan, was an urban plan developed in 1950 by Jacques Gréber for the Federal District Commission of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Its main components were:

  • returning Chaudiere Falls to their natural state and de-industrializing the islands
  • planning the region as an integrated system
  • making the Capital symbolize the whole country
  • relocating the rails from central Ottawa
  • improving transportation
  • decentralizing government offices
  • creating a scenic parkway system and restoring shorelines
  • creating the National Capital Greenbelt
  • expanding Gatineau Park (formed in 1938)
