Permaculture, Placemaking & Community Building: A Journey into the Possible

Born from collective desperation for finding ways to employ our human ingenuity and satisfy our deep-seeded yearnings for connection, The City Repair Project has effectively re-written the rules of what is possible in building community, creating a local identity and transforming the urban landscape to improve human interaction and ecological function.

Matt will invoke the spirit of the village that lives in all of us and speak to the imperative of investing where we live, giving creative insight into the essential components of a successful community building project that has proven most effective over City Repair’s 20-year history supporting the transformation of neglected spaces into thriving places.

Thurs, Oct 5| 7pm – 8pm| Main Stage
