The Urban Institute was founded to bridge the gulf between the lonely scholar in search of truth and the decision-maker in search of progress.
- President Lyndon B. Johnson, 1968

he Urban Institute was founded on the recognition that mistakes can be corrected, that compassion uninformed by competence leads to chaos, that efficient government depends on facts, and that only an effective government will earn citizens' trust and confidence.
- Joseph A. Califano, Jr., 1998

Our country can't make headway against its domestic problems if Americans don't know both the size of those problems and the cost of solving them.
- William Gorham, 1998

When I first came to Washington, we had almost no reliable information about the costs of government programs, or about who would lose or gain from proposed policy changes. In the years since the Urban Institute was founded, such information has become standard, in no small measure because of the central role the Institute has played in developing microsimulation.
- Daniel P. Moynihan, 1998

The Urban Institute is one of The Policymakers. These organizations enjoy a competitive advantage over their rivals when it comes to government contracts and research. They have the know-how and PR skills that ministers, bean counters, and bureaucrats seek.
- Foreign Policy Magazine, The Think Tank Index, 2009
