Mission
NEXT CITY, INC. IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION WITH A MISSION TO INSPIRE SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE IN CITIES THROUGH JOURNALISM AND EVENTS AROUND THE WORLD. THE VISION OF THE ORGANIZATION IS FOR A WORLD IN WHICH CITIES ARE NOT IN CRISIS AND ARE, INSTEAD, LEADING THE WAY TOWARDS A MORE SUSTAINABLE, EQUITABLE FUTURE. THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES DAILY ONLINE COVERAGE OF THE LEADERS, POLICIES AND INNOVATIONS DRIVING PROGRESS IN METROPOLITAN REGIONS ACROSS THE WORLD. IN AN AGE WHEN ORIGINAL, ON-THE-GROUND REPORTING IS INCREASINGLY RARE, WE SEND OUR WRITERS INTO URBAN COMMUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD TO PRODUCE OUR AWARD-WINNING LONG-FORM CONTENT. IN ADDITION TO OUR ONLINE JOURNALISM, WE PRODUCE EVENTS INCLUDING AN ANNUAL URBAN LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE, VANGUARD.
