Center for Neighborhood Technology is a nonprofit organization based in Chicago, Illinois, that helps cities use resources more efficiently and equitably. It researches, invents, and tests urban strategies that integrate economic development, environmental sustainability, and technology, with a focus on low-income communities and communities of color. Over four decades it has built a reputation for advanced analytics, thorough community engagement, and innovative ideas to address current and future urban challenges. Its work spans the United States, with priorities including water infrastructure, equitable transportation-oriented development, and climate resilience. Projects such as the Great Lakes Water Infrastructure Project illustrate how urban efficiency can align with poverty reduction and sustainability. In August 2025, Verizon announced a partnership with CNT to deploy low-cost sensors across flood-prone areas in Chicago to improve real-time monitoring and emergency preparedness.
