Place-Based Civic Engagement

Place-based civic engagement refers to actively involving community members in shaping and improving their local environment—such as neighborhoods, towns, or districts. It emphasizes understanding local needs, fostering collaboration among residents, and participating in activities like volunteering, local decision-making, or community projects. The goal is to strengthen community bonds, ensure that development aligns with residents' priorities, and create a more inclusive, vibrant, and sustainable place to live. This approach recognizes that meaningful change happens best when residents are connected to and invested in their specific community context.
