*Anchor institutions are entities having a large stake in a city, usually through a combination of internal missions and landownership. They also have important economic impacts due to their employment, revenue-garnering and spending patterns. As entities consuming sizable amounts of land, they have an important presence in cities and their neighborhoods. They encompass universities, hospitals, cultural institutions (including museums, libraries, performing arts facilities), churches, military installations and occasionally large corporations.
