Check out the latest thoughts around the role of civic knowledge institutions in the digital age!
Where do you turn for information about your local community? Chances are, your first move is to search the web for things like "movies near me," "East Side Farmers’ Market hours," or "historic district building codes." But where do you go for trusted local knowledge? For questions like "Why is the mall closed on Mondays?", "What’s a fair tip at the diner?", or "Why isn’t the speed limit enforced on Main Street?", finding reliable answers can be more complex. At Siegel, we’ve been focused Civic Knowledge Institutions that provide not just information but the context local communities, businesses, and governments need to thrive. Check out our latest insight from Senior Vice President & Head of Research, John Irons, as he explores the role of Civic Knowledge Institutions in the digital age and how Siegel is investing in them as a critical component of society's digital, social, and physical infrastructure. 🔗 Find it on our website. https://lnkd.in/eirUpSae
It’s not easy to draft a year-end note that speaks to this unusual moment we are in. With half our community celebrating the changing of the political guard and half in mourning and trepidation, calls for building bridges are critical but can feel unconvincing. Even though I’ve spent the last 20 years witnessing people build common visions out of divisive topics—and likely cornering you at a party to tell you stories about it—these are times when humility calls us all to challenge our assumptions, even about what we think works. In that spirit, I had the chance this year to work with colleagues outside my usual Civic Canopy context who know the urgency of solving vexing community problems from their experience as a physician and sociologist. I’m proud to share the fruits (and vegetables) of that labor in this article that my friends Mark Earnest, Karen Albright and I just published in the National Civic Review: A Simple Recipe for Complex Community Change: Make Stone Soup. https://lnkd.in/gz9zADfm This is our attempt to offer a folksy and hopeful framework for how communities can come together for the common good, and in doing so, realize they have more abundant resources than they realized. At a time when people have lost faith that we can solve problems across our differences, and resources feel scarce, we hope you will find encouragement in the stories we’ve collected and wisdom in the stone soup folktale as a metaphor for community collaboration. This is the work the Civic Canopy came to do, and it feels more important than ever. If you would like to join the thousands of partners committed to this collaborative approach across Colorado, we hope you will stay in touch with us https://lnkd.in/gAhSHHkd and invest in our work on Colorado Gives Day this week. https://lnkd.in/g66jnJap
As an urban & regional planner tinkering in the realm of renewable energy, I witness firsthand the conflicts that can alight into a multi-alarm conflagration without a diligent and community-centric approach predicated upon what the amazing Bill Fulton outlines in his Stone Soup method of bringing together diverse stakeholders...take a gander if you have the chance! #urbanplanning

What a great discussion about Urban challenges in Atlanta in the Urban Development Policy course at Georgia Tech School of Public Policy. Looking forward to more of these as the semester progresses!
Policy Advisor for Neighborhoods at the City of Atlanta and Director of the Center for Urban Research at the Georgia Institute of Technology
Want to thank former Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin for spending some time with my Urban Policy Class last week at the School of Public Policy at Georgia Tech. She shared her insights on how cities work (and how sometimes they don't) and how we should always be "thinking big". She was inspirational as always. The session made me wonder whether we are taking full advantage of the wisdom of those who have made such important contributions to our city. Of course, Shirley did share that her former boss Andrew Young is still giving her projects to work on, so perhaps we are in some ways!
Enjoyed the GOVChats: Georgia + Colorado discussion! I want to commend Jasmyne Epps for emphasizing how accessibility isn't just about physical disabilities, but situational as well (sensory, motor, cognitive, environmental, etc.) This perspective of accessibility is often overlooked during the design and development process. How can we do better? By spreading awareness. Share with your designers, developers, and project managers. Let's do our part to make websites and applications more accessible to everyone. To learn more about situational disabilities, check out this article: https://lnkd.in/gZ7ZK_F5.
