Whether responding to growing demands for attainable housing, making streets safer in the face of a record number of people killed while walking, or seeking to improve inequities after decades of disinvestment in marginalized neighborhoods, the role of community builders today can be challenging—and contested.

When soliciting community involvement and feedback it should not be a matter of if something changes, but how, and whose voices are heard.
