   Building a More Hopeful and Resilient Future by Reimagining the Civic Commons (Part 2) with Bridget Marquis

   In a time of rising polarization, social fragmentation, and widespread disconnection, how can communities rebuild trust and strengthen civic life? In Part 2 of this two-part episode, Jessica Cherry continues her conversation with Bridget Marquis, Director of Reimagining the Civic Commons, exploring how public spaces across the country are being transformed in ways that bring people together in meaningful ways. Through stories from Detroit and Memphis, the episode highlights how communities are turning vacant land, underused corridors, and even historically divisive spaces into welcoming places of connection and belonging. The episode features three local leaders: Alexa Bush and Karlyta Williams in Detroit, and Carol Coletta in Memphis. Their stories show how thoughtful design, community engagement, and cultural storytelling can reshape both neighborhoods and perceptions. Together, these stories offer a hopeful vision of what becomes possible when communities invest in shared spaces that invite connection across differences—and how those everyday moments can help rebuild trust and strengthen civic life.
