About the Menino Survey of Mayors
The Menino Survey of Mayors is the only nationally representative and scientifically rigorous survey of American mayors. It was created by the Boston University Initiative on Cities, an urban leadership and research center within Boston University, to reveal the priorities, challenges, perspectives and relationships of mayors across the country as they seek to build vibrant, sustainable, and inclusive communities. The Survey is named for the late Mayor Tom Menino, the Initiative’s co-founder and a transformative and renowned Mayor of Boston.
A team of dedicated Boston University faculty and Initiative on Cities staff lead the project each year.
