Embracing urbanization to catalyze equity The majority of people on the planet now live in cities, creating new vulnerabilities to health and economic well-being, as well as greater pressures for urban planning and governance--all of which require new strategies for building resilience for individuals, communities and regions.

We take a systemic approach to issues facing urban areas--such as climate change, sustainable infrastructure systems, and innovation for informal economies--with a focus on spurring more equitable growth across societies.

Why It Matters For millions of Americans, opportunities to seek better futures are too often limited by the simple fact of where they live. Across entire regions of the country, cities are in decline, industries have collapsed, houses are in foreclosure, and—even before the economic downturn—jobs and services had moved to the suburbs and beyond. Decades of inadequate public policy and planning have created concentrated pockets of poverty in urban centers devoid of opportunity and inner ring suburbs that are experiencing a more rapid growth of poverty. Today, the economic downturn and chronic problems associated with joblessness and urban blight make the effort to build strong communities and a promising future for families particularly urgent.
