Great Conversations: From Blueprint to Belonging
How might understanding our built environments make us better neighbors?
This interactive event invites community members and urban planners, alike, to explore this question together. Led by a panel of 4 local community leaders, we’ll think about how our spaces—public parks, city streets, or homes—shape the way we interact with, contribute to, and understand our community.
Speakers:
Esther Lovingood (they/them), programs and communications manager at River City Company, will discuss how public spaces foster connection and belonging.
Donna C. Williams (she/her), principal owner of Live Urban Ventures, LLC and advocate for affordable housing, will highlight the role of housing in building inclusive communities.
Jon Jon Wesolowski (he/him), content producer and speaker for The Happy Urbanist, will explore how individuals can take direct action in city planning for a human-centric city.
Will Clegg (he/him), Chattanooga native and partner at HHM CPAs, will share how businesses can drive change through investment and engagement.
Whether you’re a professional in the field or someone who’s passionate about the future of our communities , you’ll walk away from this event with practical strategies for how you might advocate for, give to, or volunteer with initiatives that help build a stronger, more connected community for all of our neighbors.
Ticket includes heavy apps from Il Primo, two drink tickets, and of course, great conversations!
