Mission, Ten Principles, History
Mission
Founded in 2000, the Nashville Civic Design Center (NCDC) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to elevate
the quality of Nashville’s built environment and to promote public participation in the creation of a more beautiful and
functional city for all.
Towards this end, NCDC:
• Promotes the Ten Principles of The Plan of Nashville.
• Educates the public about civic design through: lectures by prominent speakers; presentations on the history and
practice of urban design; and continuing education opportunities for design and development professionals
• Provides professional staff and highly qualified design interns to consult on civic and other community
development projects.
• Facilitates public dialogue about civic design and its impact in Nashville.
• Researches and publishes reports on various civic design issues.
Ten Principles
During the visioning process of The Plan of Nashville, consensus emerged regarding Ten Principles to guide public
policy, development practice,urban planning, and design. The second principle is:
Clean-Up the Park

Saturday, June 2nd from 9:00a to 12:00p
Volunteer to help clean-up trash and other debris at the future Wharf Park site and take

June Urban Design Forum
Emma Bistro | 9 Lea Avenue | Nashville, TN 37210
Wednesday, June 20th from 5:30p to 7:30p

core, there has been little progress made towards placing Nashvillians back on the water. Establishing a focal
point, an object of recreation, community, and sport – which enhances the experience not only along the
river, but also on the river – will create a consistent attraction for all of Nashville to utilize.
