Neil Kleiman

Contributor

Neil Kleiman is a clinical professor at New York University with a joint appointment at the Wagner School of Public Service and the Center for Urban Science + Progress. He is also director of policy and evaluation for the National Resource Network and is the co-author, with Stephen Goldsmith, of the 2017 book A New City O/S: The Power of Open, Collaborative and Distributed Governance.

Before joining NYU, Kleiman was director of policy at Living Cities, a collaborative of the world's largest foundations and corporate philanthropies. In 2008, in partnership with the Harvard Kennedy School, he helped create the Project on Municipal Innovation, the only forum in the U.S. where mayoral advisers meet to learn about and design new policy ideas. He began his career as the founding director of the Center for an Urban Future, a New York-based policy think tank.

In addition to teaching at NYU, Kleiman has taught urban policy at Barnard College, John Jay College of the City University of New York, Tulane University and Universidad de los Andes in Bogota, Colombia, and has been a visiting fellow at Williams College. He holds a Ph.D. in political science from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
