October 2023 Network Meeting: CultureHouse and Social Infrastructure Recording

Aaron Greiner joined us for this month’s WalkMassachusetts Network discussion to share about his organization CultureHouse and gave a presentation titled “Vacant to Vibrant: Creating Walkable Neighborhoods with Social Infrastructure.”

Making an area walkable requires paying attention to more than what is on the street—also critical is what happens on the edges. Having good civic spaces creates communities that are strong and resilient and neighborhoods that have accessible, walkable destinations. Aaron Greiner, the director of CultureHouse, will talk about how they use a community-driven model to reimagine vacant storefronts as pop-up community spaces that meet local needs.

The session was recorded, and you can view the presentation below.
