City Policies

We want to live in cities filled with a diversity of microenterprises, urban farms, community markets, transportation-sharing, cohousing communities, shared housing options, cooperative enterprises, and a wide variety of economic solutions developed at the grassroots level.

The City Policies program spans six program areas: Community Enterprise, Community Food, Housing, Transportation, Energy, and Governance & Democracy.
