A brief description of other political positions the institution has taken during the previous three years:
At the L.P. Cookingham Institute, we believe that a university has much to offer communities in the way of knowledge and resources that can lead to better practices and efficiency. Likewise, it is important for university researchers to learn what is working and what is not in practice and incorporate that into their future studies.
The Cookingham Institute seeks to engage with UMKC students, faculty, and staff and the Greater Kansas City community on issues related to urban and regional sustainability by organizing public lectures and conferences, and by producing and disseminating research on critical urban issues.
