Cutting Edge Tools to Strengthen Neighborhoods and Connect 
Communities

July 19, 2002   12:00 to 2:30 p.m.
The Urban Institute
2100 M Street, NW, Washington, DC
(Metro: Dupont Circle or Farragut North)

A growing number of Neighborhood Information Systems are 
supporting the development of new approaches, practices and 
policies to address various neighborhood issues, including housing, 
transportation, social service delivery and business development. 
These cutting edge tools are facilitating not only the development of 
local solutions, but providing vehicles for disseminating and 
replicating innovative, successful local solutions across the nation. 
Good, reliable data is vital to sound policymaking, community 
development and investment efforts. Neighborhood Information 
Systems are increasingly putting timely, up-to-date data into the 
hands of practitioners, policymakers and researchers for use in a 
wide spectrum of activities, from market analyses and identification 
of community assets to planning interventions, monitoring progress 
and measuring the impact of community development efforts. 
Please join NNC for a discussion of recent developments in 
Neighborhood Information Systems, including presentations on two 
particularly innovative systems.
