The August edition of Advancing Urban Policy, the monthly e-newsletter of the Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University, features research and thought leadership from across the country related to Community Development. It highlights articles on the housing market, foreclosures, collaboration, policy, sustainability, transit-oriented development, CDCs, and more…

We’re especially pleased to address Community Development this month as we have just been notified that our Center for Community Planning and Development will be honored with the Above and Beyond Award for the important work our team does to research and document the evolution of the foreclosure crisis in Cuyahoga County. (Please see editor’s note at the end of the e-newsletter). 

Future editions of Advancing Urban Policy will feature topics related to Nonprofit Management (September), City Management (October), Environmental Policy (November), and Public Finance & Budgeting (December). We welcome your ideas and submissions. They may be sent to: [email protected].
