New Incentives
Some Ideas about New Ways of Living and Working  For decades, community land trusts (CLTs) have been some of the most effective tools for ensuring the long term affordability of entire communities. By listening to community-led organizations that have achieved a level of permanence at a hyperlocal scale, we can be better prepared to create a world that meets the needs of real people, in harmony with our surroundings, over a longer period of time. With this idea in mind, I visited two community land trusts in January 2023 - the Granby Four Streets Community Land Trust in Liverpool, UK, and the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative in Roxbury, MA. I conducted interviews with organizers and designers who have had a hand in translating these organizations’ goals into real spatial expressions.

This broadsheet publication contains excerpts from my interviews, and represents an effort to understand how designers and community based organizations might work together. A close level of collaboration and understanding might help design act as an agent for generating stronger connections to a place.
