摘要

As the federal governments central planning agency for the nations capital and surrounding region, the National Capital Planning Commission is privileged to serve as a principal steward of these extraordinary resources. From preserving the capitals distinct, horizontal skyline to ensuring the development of buildings and cultural attractions that honor the citys stature and character, NCPC strives to protect Americas connections to its past while outlining bold visions for an inspiring yet livable capital city in the 21st century. Our daily work is focused on creating strong urban policies that strengthen Washingtons standing as a model of a livable transit-oriented city that is walkable, sustainable, and safe. With every project NCPC guides, we consider potential impacts on the federal establishment and the historic LEnfant city, and strive to ensure that the highest design standards and applicable environmental and historic preservation laws are met.
