No neighborhood should be left behind, and we particularly wanted Ward 7 to be a leader in how physical signs might be aligned with digital resources that shape business growth and social connection. Increasingly, our sense of place is shaped as much by culture as geography &#8212; and our economy, storytelling, and social ties are increasingly mediated by digital media. This site represents a small step toward what might be called \u201chybrid infrastructure,\u201d where neighborhoods invest simultaneously in their physical public space and their digital public space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How can local residents add content or update this website? <\/strong>To center resident voices, we invite feedback at any time and will additionally host an in-person &#8220;editing session&#8221; in late 2021 with decisions made by consensus with neighborhood groups.
