Description

PLUS²: The Resilient City

Forging a more inclusive economy

To us, cities are resilient because of the people living in them. The type of economy that we envision is both abundant and inclusive and is filled with opportunity. Communities of color in urban neighborhoods are the definition of resilient, as they have had to be that way for decades. Join us for our 6th annual PLUS² as we highlight the incredible and innovative work being done to change systems and expand economic opportunity.

*Though our advanced registration has ended, tickets will be available at the door. Please join us on Friday, June 8th. We look forward to seeing you!*

About #PLUS2LA

The Planning and Land-Use Strategies Summit (PLUS²) is an annual conference curated by LURN, a community development nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles.

PLUS² is a response to the lack of convenings that explore the intersections of innovation and community development and aims to spark critical thinking and collaboration around issues related to urban areas, community building and innovation. PLUS² is a space for guests to engage with speakers, and dream up an actionable vision for the communities we work in and the residents we care about, together.
