The Building American Cities Toolkit™

Building American Cities Toolkit™, created by Community Progress, helps practitioners think through strategies, identify tools, and learn about communities that have successfully improved their city’s built environment. The Toolkit is divided into four elements that promote sustainable solutions to turn vacant, abandoned and problem properties into vibrant places. The Toolkit is designed for users to start anywhere, and go anywhere. Users can explore all elements as they apply to a particular community, or go directly to a particular tool of interest. The platform also invites practitioners to share stories about their experiences using the Building American Cities Toolkit.
