This search engine allows users to find reports on best practices across a variety of municipal policy areas. Included are innovative initiatives successfully implemented that are models from which other cities may learn. Each downloadable report provides background information on implementation strategies and success metrics for each initiative.

The databank was launched in summer 2008 with New York's best practices, and we have begun a process to solicit best practices from other global cities. Cities interested in participating are invited to contact us.
