Join us as we discuss the future of community.
Is the future of community as we know it kattywampus?
Chip also shares what he is loving.
The Future of Community is Now
Between natural evolution, growth and COVID-19 pushing what your communities can be...
How has your community changed and continue to change?
What ultimately drives the changes within a community?
Will flexibility and resources change where and how you determine to live?
Bike lanes and greenways and parks, oh my!
Do you determine where you live based on where you work or go to school?
Or where you have access to things like delivery services?
And how do companies ultimately decide to set up shop?
Is telecommuting and remote learning the future?
How will education evolve?
If we shift the money saved from remote learning, what are the possibilities?
Could we shift resources to better serve underprivileged communities better?
