Proud of the work my LabGov team is doing in Baton Rouge applying our "Co-City" model which helps to co-design and co-create collaborative economies in cities, particularly in neighborhoods that have been neglected and marginalized.

The story describes the project in Baton Rouge. To read more about the model, see the forthcoming MIT book "Co-Cities: Innovative Transitions toward Just and Self-Sustaining Communities" #cocities #justcities #cities #urbancommons #commons
