Mission: The Metropolitan Policy Program is dedicated to redefining the challenges facing metropolitan America and promoting innovative solutions to help communities grow in more inclusive, competitive, and sustainable ways |

Description: The Metropolitan Policy Program (formerly the Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy) was launched in 1996 to provide decisionmakers cutting-edge research and policy analysis on the shifting realities of cities and metropolitan areas. The program reflects our belief that the United States is undergoing a profound period of change—change that affects its demographic make-up, its market dynamics, and its development patterns. These changes are reshaping both the roles of cities, suburbs, and metropolitan areas and the challenges they confront. For that reason, a new generation of public policies must be developed that answers to these new circumstances. Our mission has therefore been clear from the outset, and remains so as the new Metropolitan Policy Program: We are redefining the challenges facing metropolitan America and promoting innovative solutions to help communities grow in more inclusive, competitive, and sustainable ways. |
