The Center for Neighborhoods promotes innovation, equity and sustainability at the neighborhood and community level.C4N’s work is
predicated on the understanding that while public policy can help us
delineate our values as a society, it is in the day-to-day life of
neighborhoods and communities that those values are kindled and ultimately
find expression. We therefore work to improve the capacity and effectiveness
of local civic relationships while serving as an incubator for new models of
public sector/community/citizen collaboration on the issues we face as a
region. Our approach is unique in that our efforts address issues with the
understanding that individual civic engagement, local community initiative
and progressive public policy must inform each other in the creation of real
and sustainable change.
