Integrative Approach

Today there is a general recognition that we need to treat our cities problems comprehensively. We must take an integrative approach, simultaneously strengthening neighborhood institutions from the bottom up and reengineering, from the top down, the public systems that fail to create adequate opportunities.

Living Cities works with local and national partners to align local, state and federal policies to effectively address the issues surrounding jobs, housing, climate change, asset building and health care. We leverage the collective power of the public, private and philanthropic sectors especially through new and innovative ways of aggregating capital. We align our loan and grant-giving strategies to support this approach.
