Reimagining the Civic Commons published a feature article titled The San José Spotlight taking a look at changing perceptions of the Guadalupe River by bringing people out on the water.

Reimagining the Civic Commons is a national initiative that is transforming our shared civic assets to foster engagement, equity, environmental sustainability and economic development in cities across the country. To counter the trends of increasing economic segregation, social isolation and distrust, a collaboration of national foundations and local civic leaders are reimagining civic assets as a solution. Together, we are demonstrating that transformative public spaces can connect people of all backgrounds, cultivate trust and create more resilient communities. We believe in the power of the commons.
