Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to examine the elements of urban university presidents' strategic planning and priority-setting. The chapter attempts to profile the contributions of urban universities to their cities, and the specific agenda that urban university presidents establish in order to do so. The author considers two primary ideas for presidential strategies: visible presidential leadership in urban environments and the prioritization of civic-based initiatives. The chapter explores shifting patterns in strategy, leadership, and civic involvement at urban universities in the United States, setting the analysis in context to better understand how college presidential planning and leadership influence postsecondary education in America's urban core.
