The Center’s original, applied research, academic seminars and media projects seek to explain the politics of community change and explore solutions grounded in the real-life experience of practitioners and residents in New York’s neighborhoods. Its public programs offer community leaders and others the opportunity to meet powerful players in and around government and to learn about the context, organizations, and other factors that define the policymaking landscape in New York City and urban America.
