Formed in 1991, the Washington Regional Network for Livable Communities' (WRN) mission is to create and sustain a network of diverse, walkable communities linked by quality transit, laced with parks, and surrounded by greenbelts, with the District of Columbia as the hub of the region. WRN helps urban communities capture the benefits of smart growth, with a focus on social equity.

. Through public education, policy advocacy and targeted organizing, WRN works to promote transportation investments, land use policies, and neighborhood designs that enhance existing communities and protect the environment of the Washington, D.C. region.
