We are trying to spread the word about Hugh Brandt and I (Bob Varney) do at Cities Project Global. We desire to awaken, equip and unleash leaders to serve the kingdom of God in ways most Christians may miss. Our new book The Intersection: Faith, Work, and Life is a broad introduction for Christians who want to understand the Faith & Work space -- namely, how can I productively and kindly bring my faith to work and actually to everything I do. The book is on Amazon. I imagine you will find it helpful.

This article from Marcus Jenal , me and Warm data host colleagues (Thanks again to Roger Duck, Heiko Specking , and Emily Stewart) provides an insight into a for me personally very valuable and enriching exploration process  I still today value very much. The reimagining place dialogue we realised last year demonstrated a very human-centred way of communication between the participants and us. I realised again that this way of talking to each other is needed more in our sphere of work, between each other as colleagues and with partners in the places where we work. We need to move out of our expert role more often. The pure expert view could undermine a real discovery process. In other words: embracing the territory versus embracing a plan enriches what we see and discover, creating new relationships relevant to reimagining the place. https://lnkd.in/eicPS_dH

Writing for Bloomberg, DUSP's Carlo Ratti and Arianna Salazar-Miranda SM '16, PhD '23 explore the possibility and potential of developing 15-minute cities in America. “If implemented correctly, the 15-minute city can be an agent of freedom: freedom from traffic jams, freedom to live in a healthy environment and freedom to be outside,” they write. “It is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but our research shows that almost every community in America could benefit from a few more well-placed amenities.” #mit #urbanplanning #environment https://lnkd.in/gQDd7_hn
