  an extraordinary city. The <strong><a href="https://centennial.ncpc.gov/e
 xhibit.html">National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC)</a> </strong>has 
 helped make it so.</p>\n<p>NCPC has served as the federal government&rsquo
 \;s planning agency for 100 years. It was also the city&rsquo\;s local pla
 nning agency until 1974. The agency has aspired to preserve and enhance th
 e design of our nation&rsquo\;s capital to reflect democratic ideals of op
 enness and participation while also meeting the needs of people who live\,
  work\, and visit here.</p>\n<p>Through a range of events and resources\, 
 NCPC&rsquo\;s 2024 Centennial presents an opportunity to celebrate the his
 tory of planning in Washington and the region\, acknowledge unfairness in 
 past planning practices\, and consider lessons learned for planning the ca
 pital&rsquo\;s future.<strong></strong></p>\n<p><img src="https://static.l
