Strengthening the
NPU Voice.
Atlanta is divided into 25 Neighborhood Planning Units (NPUs), which are the City’s formal avenue for resident input and engagement. The NPU system was created in 1974 and last reviewed in 1978. Over the last three years, the Center for Civic Innovation has embarked on a study of Atlanta’s NPU history and a review of where we are today. CCI’s NPU Initiative is an effort to understand and provide community-driven policy recommendations on improving the effectiveness and equity of this formal system of community participation.
With the partnership of numerous stakeholder groups, CCI presented their 10 Recommendations for Strengthening the NPU System on September 16, 2021.
NPU-E will discuss these findings at our October 2021 meeting.
