NPU-W

What is a Neighborhood Planning Unit (NPU)?

The City of Atlanta is divided into 25 Neighborhood Planning Units or NPUs, which are citizen advisory councils that make recommendations to the Mayor and City Council on zoning, land use, special events and other planning issues.

The NPU system was established in 1974 by the late Mayor Maynard Jackson to provide an opportunity for all residents to actively participate in the Comprehensive Development Plan, which is the official citywide vision for growth over the next five, ten, and fifteen years.

Since then the NPU system has evolved into what it is today: the official avenue for residents to express concerns and provide input in developing plans to address the needs of each neighborhood, as well as to receive updates from City government.

The five (5) SAND neighborhoods are members of NPU-W, along with East Atlanta and Grant Park.
