MacArthur Foundation

The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, led by Julia Stasch, who is on our Advisory Committee, is a conceptual leader as well as a major funder.

Stasch's 2007 report, “The City that NETWorks”, had the seeds of the organization. It’s one of those big thick, high-MB PDFs that we see flying around on the Internet from time to time. We click, it appears in our downloads folder, maybe we read it, maybe we don’t. This one stuck.
