About this organization
Mission
To promote approaches that enable cities to drive opportunities for the bulk of their citizens.
About
The Center for Opportunity Urbanism (COU) examines issues of upward mobility, growth and prosperity for all citizens with particular interest in how planning and zoning decisions can hamper or spark economic growth. COU's work focuses on key demographic concerns, notably around the critical issue of families, who generally seek out housing that is both affordable and spacious enough to raise children. And governance - the question of who makes decisions about the commons - will also be a key area of exploration. An approach that focuses on good schools, good parks, decent jobs and strong neighborhoods may not thrill many architects, pundits and planners - who almost invariably favor ever-denser development - but they do matter to most people who live in urban areas. In 2018 COU published 6 studies and participated in and co-sponsored several.
