The Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University announces Advancing Urban Policy, a new monthly e-newsletter. Our goal for this new tool is to provide news about current research and thought leadership on topics related to urban policy from across the country. Each month will highlight a different topic, including Economic Development (January), Community Development & Housing (February), Nonprofit Administration & Leadership (March), City Management (April), Environmental Policy/Management (May), and Public Finance & Budgeting (June). While each edition will be brief, we welcome ideas and submissions. They may be sent to: [email protected]. Please read the first edition of Advancing Urban Policy here: http://urban.csuohio.edu/news/Advancing_Urban_Policy/AdvancingUrbanPolicy_January2013.htm
