5 Cities Finalize Strategies to Address Inequity and Inequality


The first five cities chosen to participate in the 100 Resilient Cities Equality Indicators program, in partnership with the CUNY Institute for State and Local Governance, have completed their strategies for addressing inequality and inequity among residents. The strategies are based on reports each city completed or is in the process of finalizing, which will be updated yearly.
Through the program, Dallas; Oakland, CA; Pittsburgh; St. Louis, MO; and Tulsa, OK developed their own metrics for measuring and tracking their progress toward greater equality and equity. Each has an overall equality score comprised of individual scores for different local factors measured throughout the city.
The cities will present their final scores and overall findings at a conference in September.
