LINC Local Investment Commission 3100 Broadway, Suite 1100 - Kansas City, MO 64111 - (816) 889-5050 - www.kclinc.org Local Investment Commission (LINC) Vision Our Shared Vision A caring community that builds on its strengths to provide meaningful opportunities for children, families and individuals to achieve self-sufficiency, attain their highest potential, and contribute to the public good. Our Mission To provide leadership and influence to engage the Kansas City Community in creating the best service delivery system to support and strengthen children, families and individuals, holding that system accountable, and changing public attitudes towards the system. Our Guiding Principles 1. COMPREHENSIVENESS: Provide ready access to a full array of effective services. 2. PREVENTION: Emphasize “front-end” services that enhance development and prevent problems, rather than “back-end” crisis intervention. 3. OUTCOMES: Measure system performance by improved outcomes for children and families, not simply by the number and kind of services delivered. 4. INTENSITY: Offering services to the needed degree and in the appropriate time. 5. PARTICIPANT INVOLVEMENT: Use the needs, concerns, and opinions of individuals who use the service delivery system to drive improvements in the operation of the system. 6. NEIGHBORHOODS: Decentralize services to the places where people live, wherever appropriate, and utilize services to strengthen neighborhood capacity. 7. FLEXIBILITY AND RESPONSIVENESS: Create a delivery system, including programs and reimbursement mechanisms, that are sufficiently flexible and adaptable to respond to the full spectrum of child, family and individual needs. 8. COLLABORATION: Connect public, private and community resources to create an integrated service delivery system.

Below are some thoughts that we hope will provide a platform for our discussions over the next two days. We mean this piece to be suggestive, not definitive. We put it together as we collaborated with The Rockefeller Foundation on its Transforming Cities initiative, begun in Spring 2013. This Summit is a continuation of that project. For more information about the previous work, see www.visionariesunbound.com. Eugénie Birch and Susan Wachter Sustainable Urbanization: Place Matters Introduction That the world is soon to be overwhelmingly urban is well known. That cities are the fulcrum of human economic, social, and political opportunities is also well known. What is in question is the future of the many citizens who live in urban areas. Worldwide, a billion city dwellers live in slums, the majority in the developing world. Many have marginal jobs in the informal economy. All are deprived of some type of public good: quality education, adequate health care, accessible transportation. At the root of these conditions is income inequality that is growing in both the developing and developed countries. Furthermore, global warming is threatening the well-being of many urban places.
