SUMMARY:Connected Cities Summit
DESCRIPTION:Join us for historic gathering of leaders shaping the future of our cities and communities to prioritize human connection. \nFor the last 60 years\, we have optimized our cities and culture for individualism and commerce. The result is a country where most people are disconnected and divided. But that is starting to change. Across the country\, civic innovators—organizers\, community builders\, and cross-sector leaders—are building a new civic era\, redesigning our cities and communities around social connection. \nThe Connected Cities Summit is where we come together to map what communities are building and create a shared vision for how together we can support social connection and trust. \n\n\n\n\n\nExperience a two-day creative sprint: part design studio\, part civic gathering\, part dinner table. \nThe Connected Cities Summit is designed to co-author a shared blueprint that we can all bring back to our communities to inform and inspire our work for the next decade.It offers: \n\nShared vision and narrative to guide our field.\nVivid description of the key infrastructure needed.\nPractical pathways for collaboration.
