Every year, The Urbanist puts out a survey to take stock of what our readers are interested in seeing more of, what we could be doing better, and how our community is changing and growing. We use your responses to set priorities for the organization. For example, we rolled out ad-free reading for subscribers due to responses on last year's survey making it clear that was a priority for our readers.


The survey is short and should not take more than 5 minutes to complete. Responses will be anonymized. Once the survey is closed and the results are analyzed, we will publish an article summarizing some of the most interesting takeaways.

Thank you for taking the time to fill out the survey, and thank you for reading The Urbanist.
