City Riparian with City Repair Project

City Repair Project

Body:

City Riparian is a 3-day event from October 12th – 14th, 2007 in which neighborhoods come together to build shared public places that they have envisioned, designed, funded, and will maintain for themselves. Projects are founded on developing strong local relationships, social capital and equity, place-making and ecological design, and supporting our local economy. By engaging neighbors in a collective process to design and build functional landscapes in the commons, we will incubate both social and natural capital, furthering the connections between people and their place.
