For more than 30 years, City Limits has covered the issues that matter to New York City's neighborhoods.
City Limits grew out of the grassroots world of community development, where visible accomplishments, rather than words, are the ultimate indicator of success or failure. First published in 1976 as a newsletter for a group of housing organizations, City Limits quickly evolved into an independent news source with a reputation for hard-hitting reporting. In the 1970s and 1980s, we led the media with our coverage of arson-for-profit schemes, lead paint poisoning and racial steering in public housing. We also published award-winning articles on destructive real estate speculation and won praise for our exposés on the widespread sexual harassment of women tenants by landlords and building managers. In the 1990s and 2000s, we uncovered widespread fraud in HUD's 203(k) program, tracked controversial developments in the city’s policies towards homeless New Yorkers and revealed gaps in the support systems for low-income families and young people in New York.
Today, we provide information and analysis you won't find anywhere else on policies and players, strategies and programs--from the front lines of advocacy to affordable housing, from federal spending to local campaigns, from community gardens to inclusionary zoning. City Limits gives its audience of nonprofit organizations, activists, bankers, urban planners, architects, real estate developers, academics, government officials, community development experts and others concerned about the quality of life in New York City the news they need.
CITY LIMITS INVESTIGATES, our new print quarterly, devotes the entirety of each issue to in-depth investigative reporting on one subject of critical citywide importance. In the e-mail newsletter CITY LIMITS WEEKLY, we probe underreported or entirely ignored topics, asking "the next question" about major urban events and raising the profile of important policy issues that might otherwise get lost in the mainstream news mix. And with its portfolio of news, events, resources and job ads, CITYLIMITS.ORG is an essential bookmark for all those interested in staying on top of what's happening in New York City today.
Through all of our publications, City Limits digs deep to get you the facts and context you need to understand some of the most pressing, complex issues facing our city.
City Limits is published by City Futures, Inc., which is also home to the Center for an Urban Future, a think tank that fuses journalistic reporting techniques with traditional policy analysis to produce in-depth reports and workable policy solutions on the critical issues facing our cities.
