| Summary: | The world has become more urbanized, challenging Extension to explore innovative approaches that are relevant locally, responsive statewide, and recognized nationally. This issue of the Journal of Human Sciences and Extension (JHSE) focuses on urban Extension. The invited articles build upon the National Urban Extension Framework, published in 2015 by the National Urban Extension Leaders (NUEL), and decades of applicable insight. Research and practice shared in this issue can be used by Extension leaders at all levels to support decision making as they evaluate investment priorities to advance the Extension mission in urban communities. Community and campus-based Extension professionals can evaluate past, current, and future scenarios. Diverse stakeholders engaged with urban community priorities can adopt or adapt approaches and examples presented; they can also connect with Extension to establish collaborative relationships to address urban issues. Students and professors of Extension education can use this issue of JHSE for applied research to create the future. |
