The MetroBridge program at the Initiative on Cities is a new approach to bridging the needs of local government with the capacities at Boston University. Every city or town has a wish list of projects to complete, but they don’t always have the time or capacity to address all of them. MetroBridge is designed to help local leaders catalyze these sidelined initiatives by connecting them with the knowledge capital of our faculty and the mental sweat equity of our students who crave a real-world connection to their academic work.
