Beyond Streets

The City of Indianapolis does community engagement differently


Listen Later

In Indy, residents don’t just use infrastructure, they help design it. 

In this episode of Beyond Streets, we sit down with Natalie van Dongen, Director of Community Outreach for the City of Indianapolis, and Daniel Stevenson, Deputy Director of Policy & Planning at the Indianapolis Department of Public Works. Together, they share how the City of Indianapolis is flipping the script on traditional urban planning with Community Powered Infrastructure. 

From tactical urbanism pilots that boost safety, to residents pitching and crowdfunding projects, to a CPI Lending Library that puts real tools in people’s hands, it's a lesson in building trust, unlocking creativity, and empowering community pride.
