In this interview, Knight Foundation consultant Katherine Loflin talks about real steps communities can take – from widening sidewalks to improving a city’s social venues – to help residents become more attached to where they live. As a result, communities can become more attractive to young, college-educated workers that cities need to continue to thrive, said Loflin, whose remarks stem from the findings of the Soul of the Community survey.
The Knight-Gallup survey explores the connection between local economic growth and peoples’ emotional bond to a place. More at www.soulofthecommunity.org.
