“Plan nh, founded in 1989, has a mission to foster excellence in the planning, design and development of new hampshire's built environment. Our membership is a multidisciplinary group of architects, engineers, landscape architects, planners, builders and real estate professionals, financial and insurance firms, and others with an interest in how, what, and where we build, and the impact the built environment has on our daily lives. Several new hampshire towns, cities, and nonprofit organizations are also members. Plan nh has a vision of vibrant communities across the state; communities that are economically and socially vibrant, in which: our changing context is taken into consideration during planning and related decisions; communities balance necessary growth with preserving their unique sense of place; compact, mixed-use areas are encouraged; there are reasonable, affordable choices for where to live and how to get about; we are stewards of our natural resources and historic assets; there are educational and cultural opportunities of all kinds; all citizens are encouraged to be civically engaged. To achieve this vision, plan nh's mission is to foster and encourage sustainable planning, design and development of new hampshire's built environment. We do so by championing smart growth and livability principles, social responsibility, and collaboration and cooperation. Our means are programs and projects that inform and inspire professionals and community members here in the granite state. The overall purpose is to raise awareness of the link between the built environment and the health and vitality of our communities.”
