Reimagining the Civic Commons

South Park Studies: Social Infrastructure

LEARN

Reimagining the Civic Commons is a three-year, national initiative with projects in five U.S. cities that revitalize and connect civic assets. A collaboration of national foundations and a network of local partners, the initiative is working toward four main goals: civic engagement, socioeconomic mixing, environmental sustainability and value creation.

Earlier this year, representatives from Chicago, Detroit, Akron and Philadelphia met in Memphis to discuss the programs challenges, successes, and future. Read “Coming Together in Memphis” for their lessons on creating engaging public spaces.
