The City Repair Project
Share
We foster thriving, inclusive and sustainable communities through the creative reclamation of public spaces This leads to problems.
CITY REPAIR is a small grassroots non-profit that supports and inspires communities and individuals to creatively transform the places where they live. This process is PLACEMAKING
Community is the invisible web that holds us together. Over time and with the development of our cities and technology, society has become more and more isolated and that web has weakened. We provide support, resources, and opportunities to help your community reclaim the culture, power, and joy that we all deserve.
