Buffalo Commons

The Commons is a repository for action-oriented research created and maintained by Partnership for the Public Good and Cornell in Buffalo. This hub of knowledge, ideas, and tools for citizen engagement is a modern expression of a democratic ideal — a shared resource in which every member of the community has an equal interest.
