Civic Economics is an economic analysis and strategic planning consultancy with offices in Austin and Chicago.  At Civic Economics, we believe that healthy, sustainable economies develop best in healthy communities.  Consequently, we bring a holistic approach to our work. 

For Government
Big cities and rural villages face new competitive pressures in the global economy.  The era of “smokestack chasing” is over.  Is your community equipped to build sustainable prosperity?

For Business
Businesses, too, must approach their work with a new rigor.  Civic Economics will build upon your “back of the napkin” analysis to provide a sophisticated and compelling case for your evolving strategies.

For Civic Organizations
A wide array of civic organizations places a growing emphasis on accountability and sustainability.  Civic Economics provides a thorough analytical framework for all their endeavors, offering guidance and information from a national perspective.

So whether you represent a government office, a business, or a civic organization, we can help.  Our menu of services can be tailored to the needs of your organization.  And, calling upon our network of highly regarded, specialized strategic partners, Civic Economics can serve as a one-stop-shop for all your analytical and planning needs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Civic Economics enjoyed a highly successful 2009.  We truly spanned the nation, with engagements in the Pacific Northwest, New England, the Gulf Coast, and the Great Plains.  Our work was the focus of media attention in such sources as the Economist, Time, CNN, and the Christian Science Monitor.  And we earned awards for previous work from the American Planning Association and the Congress for New Urbanism.

We are looking forward to another great year in 2010, and wish our friends, colleagues, and clients a happy, productive year.
