Cities and Localities Create Systems to Drive Upward Mobility
Posted by Spotlight on Poverty and Opportunity on May 5, 2026
In a webinar on April 24, 2026, the Urban Institute shared real-world examples of cities and localities using the tools of its Upward Mobility Initiative to drive greater and more equitable economic opportunity for residents.
This Spotlight exclusive focuses on comments by representatives of Richmond, Va., Boone County, Mo., and San Mateo County, Calif., who talked about how having access to tools such as Urban’s Toolkit for Increasing Upward Mobility, Upward Mobility Framework, and Upward Mobility Dashboard were invaluable as their communities began to create systems to promote upward mobility.
