Rome was not built in a day!

We are a media project taking a fresh approach to journalism. While it’s up to mainstream journalists to inform the general public and hold those in power to account, our journalism project centers its reporting on the world’s biggest challenges through the lens of local action and the power of city people to create social change – and exercise influence globally. Will you support us?



We are free for everyone to read. We do this because we believe in the democratization of information—local solutions, tactics, and social and environmental innovation—to advance progress.
