The Menino Survey was initiated in 2014 by the Boston University Initiative on Cities, co-founded by the late Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino. Now in its ninth year, the Menino Survey is based on live interviews with mayors on their pressing challenges, priorities, and expectations for the future. It continues in 2022 with the support of The Rockefeller Foundation.
