City Forums
A forum model for universities, city institutions and industry participants to structure evidence-based local economic-development work.
How Forums Work
Convene
Define the university or institutional host, invited stakeholders and the local economic question before a forum is announced.
Collaborate
Use research, data and practitioner input to develop options and documented recommendations.
Implement
Translate recommendations into an implementation plan only when responsible institutions choose to proceed.

Policy Impact
Develop evidence and implementation options without implying authority over public policy decisions.
