Lunch & Learn - Community Heart & Soul

More than a planning tool, Community Heart & Soul is a call for officials to become catalysts for positive change. Prioritizing community engagement bridges the gap between policy decisions and residents' lived experiences, fostering a sense of ownership and ensuring plans remain responsive to evolving community needs. By adopting this holistic approach, officials not only shape physical landscapes but also enhance the social, cultural, and economic dimensions of development. Community Heart & Soul is an invitation for planning officials to be architects of change, shaping resilient, adaptable, and thriving communities. Embracing this approach promises not just sustainable development but a legacy that resonates with the heartbeat of the people they serve.
