CityThink is an academic institute & private consultancy in your city government, for tomorrow’s city. Cities are at the center of our future. They are changing fast, but are built upon a foundation of stability, not change. They are organized into independent departments, not meant to collaborate, but to ensure checks and balances. Simply put, our cities are not built to innovate in a time when we are counting on them to come up with unique solutions to some of our most difficult problems. Research shows that creating internal innovation teams is an important part of ensuring that cities are ready for the future in the near-term. The challenge is to build sustainable systems and organize our cities in a way that they can respond to the most wicked of problems. CityThink is meant to overcome the challenges of city organization, lack of resources and in some cases lack of will by creating an internal ecosystem of civic design teams ready to take on any challenge. How is CityThink different? It is BY cities, FOR cities. Change does not come from outside, but from within. Let’s make it happen!
