City of Cambridge
About
The City of Cambridge is the municipal government for one of Greater Boston’s best-known cities, home to Harvard University and MIT. Its official website is the starting point for residents, workers and visitors looking for information on living in, working in and visiting the city, from library hours and locations to public safety news and daily updates. Residents can report problems such as missed trash pickups or potholes through the SeeClickFix service request system.
Cambridge runs under a council-manager form of government, with an elected City Council and an appointed city manager who oversees departments. Recent civic initiatives include the city’s first Civic Assembly, a panel of 40 residents chosen by public lottery to reflect a balanced mix of age, neighborhood, race, housing status and other backgrounds. The City also shares news on public safety and community programs, and offers ways for residents to submit ideas to improve Cambridge.
