The Marron Institute of Urban Management is a small NYU-based research unit in the higher education sector, located in New York City. It collaborates with cities to improve health, safety, mobility, and inclusiveness, working with residents, officials, and practitioners on challenges such as city planning, criminal justice, and environmental health. The institute defines good urban management as the efficient provision of public safety, public health, and public space, emphasizing the potential for collaborative problem-solving in dense urban settings. Founded with a gift from Donald B. Marron, the institution partners with governments, intergovernmental agencies, NGOs, philanthropic foundations, and other academic institutions to address urban challenges worldwide. It operates four programs—Litmus, Air Quality, Crime and Justice, and Urban Expansion—each pursuing distinct aims: Litmus supports public-sector innovation; Air Quality seeks cost-effective ways to monitor and reduce urban air pollution; Crime and Justice aims to reduce crime and mass incarceration and to inform drug policy; and Urban Expansion helps rapidly growing cities plan for expansion in collaboration with the NYU Stern Urbanization Project.
