The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy

―

The Legacy Cities Initiative is a national network of community and government leaders working to create shared prosperity and bring attention to the common needs and collective importance of these older industrial centers. The initiative seeks to promote sustainable and equitable revitalization of legacy cities by convening leaders, stakeholders, and scholars; facilitating the exchange of ideas and practices; and researching and advancing new policy approaches.

A project of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, the Legacy Cities Initiative supports the exploration and implementation of innovative strategies and policies. Together, we advance cutting-edge state and local policies in support of urban areas nationwide, and we promote research to address legacy cities’ common challenges and opportunities and build a more equitable, sustainable, and prosperous future.

The Legacy Cities Community of Practice

The Legacy Cities Community of Practice is a year-long virtual fellowship that brings interdisciplinary teams from four cities together for peer learning, insights from expert faculty, and the opportunity to tackle entrenched citywide policy issues through place-based projects.

We invite cities to express interest in joining our inaugural cohort. Expressions of interest will be reviewed as they are submitted but must be submitted by Friday October 30, 2020. To apply, please fill out the expression of interest form.
