Pride in Place
2025 Community Roadshow & Listening Tour Report
Pride in Place documents insights from our listening tour through case studies and analytical frameworks. The detailed findings, methodology, and patterns we discovered are presented in the following sections, including a fictional case study called Wattlestone that illustrates what becomes possible when the right supports align.
Communities have provided clear analysis of what works and what needs to change. The next steps require coordinated response across multiple systems and stakeholders, and the patience to sustain this work over the long term. Pride in Place documents that analysis and provides a foundation for the ongoing work of listening and responding to community needs.
