“Even though this is a temporary activation, it does give us an opportunity to bring some of those things the community told us they wanted to live, if only for a short time,” Khalil Ligon with the City of Detroit Planning and Development Department: shorturl.at/moyQU
Yesterday we started breaking ground for the Better Block Detroit G7 project site! Joined by our partners Detroit volunteers, we’re rolling up our sleeves to bring this lot to life. We will be implementing a shade structure, gravel paths, an alley mural, parklet, and much more!
@PlacemakingX @IMCLconference @Fred_Kent @sociallifeproj @michaelwmehaffy @FutureofPlaces @PPS_Placemaking @sethalow @ebkent @BolgarB Follow @Fred_Kent, plenaries from @Knightengale of @TheBetterBlock and @SophiaOmega1 of #placemakingUS. #IMCL60 #placemaking
In honor of Earth month, we've been thinking how we may reuse some of the boxes we receive from our project orders and give them a second life. What if we could make some Wikiblock out of cardboard? With the power of our CNC router, it's actually pretty simple to do! #BetterBlock
I always think I couldn’t be more inspired and then time with amazing peers and neighbourhoods is endlessly generative and hopeful, thank you to everyone who joined us this evening, and to @WeCanMakeHomes / @TheBetterBlock for the inspiring collaboration. High fives to…
What an incredible profile of #literarydallas, @willevans, @WildDetectives & Deep Vellum/@deepvellumbooks in @nytimesbooks! Grateful for every single person who helps make Dallas a literary city. nytimes.com/2024/04/25/boo…
Just one more week before we arrive in Detroit and start transforming for the Better Block G7 project! If you're in the area, we currently looking for volunteers to lend a helping hand in bringing the design to life for the May 3 demonstration: shorturl.at/giG68
It's been nearly a month since our corner bench project, and the responses we've received have been nothing short of incredible. Out of the 12 benches we set up, 6 have found new homes. Watch to see what other opportunities have sparked from this experiment! #BetterBlock
Due to potential inclement weather, tomorrow's Dallas Greening Initiative demonstration has postponed and rescheduled! Join us May 11 from 11AM - 2PM at the Echo Lake Drive property for our last installation of the project: shorturl.at/nwyI5
We're seeking local vendors and calling for volunteers to be part of the Better Block @ Bachman Lake transformation this June. Visit betterblock.org/bachman to sign up as a volunteer or a vendor and help us transform this parking lot into an activated space for the community!

The #BetterBlockInABox continues its journey on April 6 for another greenspace activation! Greenspaces play a vital role in communities and why the Dallas Greening Initiative aims ensure these Dallas neighborhood has access to one within a 10min walk: bit.ly/43H3NI5
More of this, please. “Creating Connections,” the contest launched by @TheBetterBlock in February, challenges architects, designers & artists to create public infrastructure to encourage more serendipitous social connections. @CityLab #design #publicspace bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Waiting for public transport in America can mean braving unsheltered stops. We took action with some #TacticalUrbanism with support from @AARP / Toyota. We printed some Dreambox Couches from our Wikiblock library, rallied our friends, and got to work! #BetterBlock
Call for volunteers / vendors in the Detroit area: come be part of the Better Block Detroit G7 placemaking event on May 3! This project will temporarily transform a vacant lot in the Gratiot/McNichols micro-district into an activated community hub: bit.ly/3RgZT2W
