ARE YOU A
Sought-After City?
CITIES OF ALL SIZES AND LOCATIONS ARE FOCUSED ON ONE QUESTION:
How can we attract AND retain residents and businesses?
EVERY CITY HAS A VALUE PROPOSITION.
A reason people should live, work and play there – but many have a difficult time recognizing and articulating their “why”. We’ve created the Sought-After City Scorecard to help you recognize your city’s assets and better tell your city’s story to:
-
- Attract and retain residents & businesses
- Promote local businesses and organizations
- Increase the number of engaged and informed citizens
- Encourage collaboration and inclusion
THE KEY IS showcasing the unique people, places and projects in your city to help locals and newcomers understand and appreciate where they live and work.
When people know what their city has to offer and the role they can play in building the community, they are more likely to stay, engage, and invest in that place.

Our Impact
The City Institute helped inspire the Akron team to not only think differently about the way we tell our Akron story within each of our organizations, but the experience led us to think about how we can collectively work to tell those stories in a more impactful and experiential way.
—Kelli Fetter, Downtown Akron Partnership
WHO BENEFITS?
Whether you’re a 60,000 person town with a great historic main street like Pontiac, MI; a 200,000 person city that saw its peak population in the mid-20th century like Akron, OH or even a large growing city that wants newcomers to feel engaged enough they decide to stay like Portland, OR, there is always an opportunity to get more people living, working and CONNECTING with your city.
Quality of Place
“Quality of place isn’t something you do after you grow the economy and have more resources to do the extras. It is one of the essentials that you do to grow the economy.”
—Lou Glazer, Michigan Future
