To celebrate the 20th anniversary of its establishment, Living Cities hosted panel discussions on Tuesday on leadership, innovation and problem-solving mechanisms in urban areas.
Living Cities was established in 1991 by philanthropists and
corporate leaders who believed that real change in cities can only come
from “intentional and sustained collaboration between the private,
public and philanthropic sectors.” Living Cities is comprised of the 22
largest foundations and financial institutions in the world.
Initiated under the auspices of such leadership and initially called
the National Community Development Initiative (NCDI), the organization
has since catalyzed $16 billion in urban investments. The group works to
connect private funding to ensure metropolitan prosperity and provide
opportunities for underprivileged communities.
