The Urban Information Center at the Dallas Public Library has documents published by the City of Dallas, Texas, and books about cities. The collection is organized around this question: What does it take for a city -- including its citizens and its leaders -- to meet its challenges, solve its problems and flourish in an age of rapid social, economic and technological change? We provide municipal reference services to city agencies.

Subjects we cover:
Affordable Housing City Planning Civil Service Test Preparation Crime Scene Forensics Criminology Demographics Economic Development Fire Fighting Grassroots Organizing Green Building Homelessness Mass Transit	Municipal Management Municipal Water & Sewage Parks & Landscape Architecture Police Science Poverty Studies Public Administration Recycling & Community Gardens Smart Growth Urban Studies Youth Development Zoning
