Co-Designing Community Justice: Placemaking as a Safety Strategy

What's in this Webinar?

Safety is more than a response to a problem. Safety is about the spaces we inhabit every day. This closing session explores how transforming physical environments can transform community outcomes, spotlighting place-based initiatives that turn neglected, or contested, spaces into sites of connection, healing, and belonging.
