Mission Statement
The Center for an Urban Future (CUF) is a catalyst for smart and sustainable policies that reduce inequality, increase economic mobility, and grow the economy in New York City. An independent, nonpartisan policy organization, CUF uses fact-based research to elevate important and often overlooked issues onto the radar of policymakers and advance practical solutions that strengthen New York and help all New Yorkers participate in the city’s rising prosperity. For 25 years, CUF has consistently shaped the policy debate around economic opportunity in New York by publishing reports that are widely covered in the media, highly readable and anchored in rigorous research rather than preconceived notions about outcome. CUF’s efforts to create a more prosperous, equitable and inclusive New York span many topics and policy areas, and are unified by three common aims: -- Growing New York City’s economy and boosting the number of middle income jobs; -- Helping more people develop the skills and credentials needed to access careers that put them on the path to the middle class; and -- Making New York City—and its many and diverse neighborhoods—a better place to live!
About This Cause
For over two decades, the CENTER FOR AN URBAN FUTURE (CUF) has been a catalyst for smart and sustainable policies that expand economic opportunity in New York. Our fact-based reports and highly visible policy forums consistently elevate critical issues onto the radar of public officials and spur policy changes that result in a stronger and more equitable economy and help more New Yorkers advance to the middle class. Over the years, CUF has influenced city and state policies on diversifying the economy, boosting the number of middle class jobs, expanding apprenticeships and tech training programs, supporting immigrant entrepreneurs, bolstering public libraries, scaling up small businesses, strengthening human services organizations, sustaining artists, and helping New York’s community college students achieve college and career success. During the past several years, CUF has generated hundreds of ideas and innovative strategies and sparked tangible policy changes that are helping to create a more equitable and sustainable city and expand economic opportunity for the most vulnerable New Yorkers.
