Dec. 06, 2018

At The Citizen'south inaugural Ideas We Should Steal Festival, Pedal to Porch Executive Director Cornetta Lane proposed an idea that might seem radical in this 24-hour interval and age: Actually getting to know your neighbors.

Lane's Detroit-based nonprofit organizes neighborhood bike rides, in which participants are invited to listen to their neighbors sharing stories from their forepart porches. In Detroit, information technology'south been an effective way of improving the relations between the newer and older residents of chop-chop gentrifying neighborhoods.

"Who are the neighborhood anchors? Who are the natural story tellers?" Lane asked the oversupply. "Rebranding a neighborhood is not a very neighborly thing to practise…become figure."

If you missed the console, or but desire to hear it again, listen on CitizenCast below.
