Civic Commons Studio #2: The First Moves

The second convening of teams from the five Reimagining the Civic Commons demonstration cities included on-site tours of key elements of Chicago’s civic commons project and a workforce development component. In addition, participants heard from multi-city panels discussing environmental sustainability and socioeconomic mixing in civic commons projects and attended breakout sessions covering wide-ranging subjects such as value creation and how to move people to civic action. Materials from the studio include the agenda and presentation slides.
