How are community builders persevering and pivoting amid so much change and loss? How do we invest in people who know their neighbors and neighborhoods best? These are a few of the questions posed to urban innovators, activists and philanthropists from Detroit, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Memphis and New York in a three-night cross-city exchange with community builders called We Built This.
The virtual event was held July 13 – 15 and was hosted by Urban Consulate and BridgeDetroit’s Orlando Bailey.
