Reimagining Resilience Through Civic Infrastructure

What does environmental sustainability have to do with public health? Can urban public spaces play a role in mitigating the effects of climate change? What are the first steps that people can take to make it happen in their own communities? These and other questions about the intersections of the environment, health, and placemaking in “Investing with Intention: Environmental Sustainability,” a new report co-authored by Sophia Chang, Liz Guthrie, and Bridget Marquis of Reinventing the Civic Commons and Gillian Tiley from U3 Advisors. “Investing with Intention” is a playbook of case studies and practical steps for cities that want to show how their public spaces can serve not simply as amenities, but as tools to make communities more connected and resilient. Read the report here.
