Objectives
The Community and Regional Development Panel addresses local development and governance challenges and strategies related to housing, land use, economic development and transportation within a regional context. Panel goals, as part of the CityFutures Program, are to:
- Help municipal officials recognize, understand, and meet the emerging trends and challenges their communities face
- Foster and shape public discussion and policy debate aimed at developing the arrangements needed to meet these challenges
- Help shape NLC activities and programs to reflect members' concerns, interests, and objectives, in an effort to produce outcomes
The CityFutures Program consists of a program of engagement, analysis, outreach, and impact around the trends and changes affecting America's cities now and in the future. The Program consists of the Advisory Council and four CityFutures Panels:
