About CNT

CNT was founded in 1978 to organize residents to challenge harmful environmental practices
with a socio-economic lens. Our founders believed in tackling issues directly within communities to
elevate residents’ living standards and economic opportunities, in partnership with the people who
lived there. Since then, we have expanded our work to include equitable transportation systems,
inclusive housing strategies, and data informed decision making. Our core capabilities include:

Analysis
We are known for rigorous, interdisciplinary analysis of urban and
regional problems, both quantitative and qualitative.

Engagement & Empowerment
Our staff collaborates with local partners and government leaders, empowering
them to improve communities both independently and alongside public institutions.

Innovation
We deliver data-informed policy, financial, and technological solutions,
leveraging cutting-edge tools and insights to drive impactful change.

Community Collaboration
We partner with you to recognize gaps in service and devise
innovative strategies to address challenges we discover jointly.

Our bottom-up, data-informed approach to problems produces evidence-based solutions.
CNT helps support the creation of equitable, sustainable, and resilient local governments and
communities through innovative analysis and solutions. We are proud to be known for building
sophisticated data tools, developing online resources to make findings usable, and creating
common-sense approaches to planning and sustainable development.
