Re-Imagine Chicago Ideas Forum: Community Investment

After 2020, it’s time to forge a new path and re-imagine how Chicago can work to lift up residents, improve civic engagement and enhance quality of life. From taxes, opportunity zones, private capital, revitalization efforts and economic priorities, community investment is constantly a topic of conversation in Chicago.

Join WBEZ and University of Chicago’s Center for Effective Government for a virtual event about Chicago’s community investment priorities, bold approaches from other cities and innovative ideas from a diverse group of local civic leaders. We will highlight two successful reform strategies that have revitalized U.S. cities and connect with local activists, policymakers and community members to re-imagine how new approaches to community investment might build a more equitable Chicago.
