NPU University: P1009 History of Neighborhood Planning Units

This course offers an examination of the creation and evolution of the City of Atlanta’s Neighborhood Planning Units (NPUs). Students will gain insights into local, state, and national influences that led to this new form of civic participation for Atlanta residents in 1974 – during Maynard Jackson’s first year as mayor – and how it has changed over the next 50 years. The curriculum provides a comprehensive understanding of the people and processes that have played a pivotal role in shaping Atlanta’s neighborhoods as we know them today.
