Liana Epstein tells us about City Atlas: New Haven, a new project about the future of New Haven. City Atlas is a bottom-up pub­li­ca­tion that high­lights the good ini­tia­tives hap­pen­ing through­out the city with the goal of work­ing together toward a greener, greater future for the city. In par­tic­u­lar, Liana talks about the pow­er­ful role of lis­ten­ing in com­mu­nity ini­tia­tives — and lis­ten­ing a lot.

Elm City Podcast \\ GovLove Episode #23: Liana Epstein of City Atlas: New Haven

City Atlas is a new project about the future of New Haven. We feature and promote the sustainability goals of New Haven and Yale, and help connect members of the Yale community to the city's new initiatives and civic organizations. We aim to strengthen the ties between social justice, sustainability, and community building.

City Atlas: New Haven is modeled on City Atlas: New York (newyork.thecityatlas.org). City Atlas: New Haven is the beginning of a network of sites in partnership with universities, drawing on talented young people to create a new, locally relevant platform for a public conversation about the future.

This is our podcast! Check out what types of visions New Havenites have for the future of this city. Also be sure to check out our branch in Beijing (beijing.thecityatlas.org)!
