The Future of Small Cities Institute

It is always a treat to find grassroots organizations devoted to the success of small cities and towns. The Future of the Cities Institute located in upstate New York is such a group. Their work, with excerpts from their website below, is useful as described below from their website. FoSCI is a great model to use when designing a local initiative. A great example for others to emulate. 

 MISSION 

The Future of Small Cities Institute cultivates resilient communities by offering just and sustainable solutions for small and mid-sized metro areas. We do this by fostering local community partnerships and a regional city network, producing cross-platform resources and publications, hosting a dynamic urbanism event series, and by building a tangible knowledge-base of best practices for small cities.
