Placemaking and community building in our neighborhoods is one of the answers to the big problems confronting us, in my opinion. And positive, creative acts feed our souls, right?

It hails from Portland, but is imminently transferable (unlike some other Portland innovations). The organization featured is called City Repair.
The video includes a controversial critique of the grid, but the real actions undertaken in the neighborhoods is the key message, I think. This is praxis.
