The City of Atlanta is divided into 25 NPUs.
Each contains at least two individual neighborhoods and has been assigned a letter of the alphabet from A to Z.*
*Except for U, because that would be confusing.
How does the NPU System work?
• City officials provide information to and get feedback from the NPUs on public safety, public works, permits, parks, and other neighborhood planning matters.
• Everyone over the age of 18 who lives in Atlanta’s city limits is a member of an NPU.
• Property owners, business owners, and organizations can have a representative member, too.
• NPUs typically meet once a month to conduct business.
• Each NPU has its own bylaws so there’s no one-size-fits-all description.
• NPUs help prepare the Comprehensive Development Plan dealing with the physical, social, and economic aspects of our city.
