[edit] Mission

The mission of the Neighborhood Planning Network is to provide an inclusive and collaborative city-wide framework to empower neighborhood groups in the New Orleans planning process.

[edit] Objectives

  • Foster collaboration and information sharing among neighborhood groups by:
    • Providing a regular forum for groups to meet, and
    • Organizing events relevant to neighborhoods.
  • Coordinate neighborhood groups' access to expertise in community development, media, planning preservation, grantwriting/fundraising, architecture, and technology in order to:
    • Increase equity in rebuilding (helping local expertise in neighborhoods connect with outside professional organizations and civic individuals to assist in the rebuilding process)
    • Provide resources for neighborhoods
    • Facilitate displaced residents' involvement in planning decisions and their return to New Orleans
  • Advocate for city policies and programs that support neighborhoods and incorporate neighborhood plans into city redevelopment efforts by:
    • Acting as a watchdog organization on behalf of neighborhoods
    • Proposing policies and programs to support or implement just, equitable, and comprehensive neighborhood efforts
  • Develop a framework that supports meaningful deliberation and problem-solving within and among neighborhoods.

[edit] Meetings

NPN meets every Wednesday at 6pm at the Musicians' Union Hall on Esplanade Avenue. We'd love to see you there.
