GreaterPlaces is a place for the imagination. Based in Washington, DC, it's a social enterprise and website that offers a wide array of social solutions for city living. How to bring people together in the name of good? That's a question that deserves answers -- but also more questions -- and this is one place to go to start and continue thinking about problem-solving and community building.
"Cities all over the world are inviting the public to the community design table," GreaterPlaces writes on their website. "We think everyone should come inspired and equipped with great ideas and solutions for the shared spaces in our communities."
It's time to get involved in what your city looks (and feels) like.
