America’s neighborhoods are the heart of its cities. They are the barometers of the nation’s health, dynamism and future.
‍
Now it’s time to make every American neighborhood a complete neighborhood. That means prioritizing equity by infusing communities with better access to opportunity, especially historically underserved communities of color.
‍
Building a Complete American Neighborhood rests on four pillars: equity, community, education and work. They’re a 15 Minute City, they have schools at the center of their community, their urban space provides easy access to all life’s necessities, and they offer life-long learning for all residents.
‍
Implementing each of these pillars rests upon the idea of building multi-dimensional infrastructure and vital engagement with the communities from which new solutions will emerge.

Catalyzed by Reimagine America’s Schools (a program of the National Design Alliance), the Siegel Family Endowment and CityAge, The Complete American Neighborhood seeker to launch a regional and national dialogue on how to ensure every community has an opportunity to build more complete, inclusive neighborhoods.
