One Block at a Time

Why a toolkit?

Through our One Block at a Time project, we applied many of the details and approaches on models of equitable community engagement into practice in four Great Lakes communities and worked to build climate resilience at the neighborhood scale. While working within our communities, we also had the fortunate opportunity to work together as a multi-community team and to lean on, and ask questions of, one another when we got stuck. But, we didn’t want these great collaborations and our ideas to end there. You may not have a team to ask or know where to start in this work. We created this toolkit to share the details on what we did and how exactly we accomplished our projects. Sharing is caring, so we wanted to transfer our lessons learned to you, a colleague in a community just down the road!
