City Repair Project

As stated on the webpage, “City Repair is an organized group action that educates and inspires communities and individuals to creatively transform the places where they live. City Repair facilitates artistic and ecologically-oriented placemaking through projects that honor the interconnection of human communities and the natural world. The many projects of City Repair have been accomplished by a mostly volunteer staff and thousands of volunteer citizen activists.”

City Repair emphasizes sustainability through localization.  With Placemaking as a sustainability strategy, they hope to foster engaged and active relationships between community members and the spaces they inhabit.  They assist community members in creating communal and ecologically oriented places through educational or hands-on projects such as Intersection Repair and Village Building Conference.
