The IRCT is a university-based effort that helps community residents and leaders in the public and private sectors frame workable policies that will bolster the political, economic, and social participation of marginalized communities within the larger metropolitan community. The IRCT's vision is inclusive. Not only does it encompass concerns for the poor, but leaders of the Initiative also believe that in order for metropolitan regions to support sustainable and livable communities, all sectors of civil society must be involved and see a shared interest.

The IRCT believes that the greatest challenge facing those who care about social and economic equity linked to environmental stewardship is developing innovative public policies that have broad appeal to civil society. The IRCT pursues its work in the following ways: applied research, strategic convening, and supporting leaders in key institutions.
