The Urban Institute is a research-to-impact institution founded on one simple idea: To improve lives and strengthen communities, we need practices and policies that work. From advancing well-being to fostering shared prosperity, leaders across sectors are working every day to create brighter futures for all people and communities. For more than 50 years, Urban has delivered evidence and solutions that drive meaningful change, and this remains our charge today.

Formerly Sustainable Cities Collective, Smart Cities Dive has been created to give the topics of urban sustainability and connectivity the full-time editorial news coverage they deserve. It reaches more than 250,000 industry leaders each month via its website, email newsletter, and social media channels.

DESIGN THE FUTURE METROPOLIS has its finger on the pulse of what’s next in architecture and interior design. Every day, we feature projects, publish insights, create resources, and organize events to keep you connected to the future of design. For more than four decades, we have been committed to a sustainable, just, and nurturing built environment. We dedicated an issue to sustainability in September 1996, were the first to report the connection between architecture and climate change in October 2003, and addressed interior design’s carbon emissions in our November/December 2020 issue. In 2021, METROPOLIS was instrumental in launching the Interior Design Pledge for Positive Impact, and spearheaded the creation of the Climate Toolkit for Interior Design. We never lose sight of the biggest goals for architecture and design: Making people’s lives better and safeguarding life on this planet.
