Where Faith & Urban Futures Meet

While the rapid global urbanization presents unprecedented challenges, it also opens doors for faith communities to play a pivotal role. Cities grapple with housing shortages, the need for basic services like water, sanitation, mobility, and green spaces, and civic issues such as economic inclusion, safety, and diversity. Faith communities, with their extensive networks and ethical, social, economic, cultural, and spiritual influence, are poised to contribute innovative solutions.

 

Faith for Cities is a network of religious organizations and leaders who seek to understand our common urban challenges while harnessing the potential and capacities of faith communities toward actionable, impactful urban development initiatives. The focus is on not just discerning the needs but contributing solutions, turning the intellectual and research gaze of religious academic institutions towards cities, and fostering a multi-faith ecosystem that is equipped and committed to building thriving cities for all.
