Co-hosted by the Memphis Civic Commons team, this Civic Commons Learning Journey took participants from the banks of the Mississippi to historic Overton Park, Crosstown Concourse and The Heights neighborhood. Network members learned from local leaders about the power of public space to encourage socioeconomic mixing and experienced the transformation of Memphis’ riverfront on a series of walking tours.
