A Season of Reflection, Thanks, and Looking Ahead Together
Summary
As the year comes to a close, we extend our deepest gratitude to the communities, partners, civic leaders, students, and colleagues who make the work of the Great Cities Institute possible. This year has reminded us, often urgently, of the importance of engaged research, community knowledge, and public institutions committed to equity and democracy.
Cities continue to face profound challenges, but they are also places of resilience, creativity, and collective care. We are inspired every day by the people and organizations working to strengthen our civic life, improve neighborhoods, expand opportunity, and imagine more just urban futures.
We wish you a restful holiday season and a hopeful start to the new year.
Thank you for being part of the Great Cities Institute community. We look forward to continuing this work together in the year ahead.
Warm regards,
The Great Cities Institute
