About the event
Join this workshop focused on showcasing how Urban Acupuncture can be used in neighborhoods across the city. The workshop will give the knowledge and resources for community leaders to take charge and make change in the context of their communities. Urban Acupuncture is an innovative approach to urban design that involves making small, localized interventions to address complex urban challenges. These interventions are like "acupuncture needles" that stimulate positive change. Rescue My Nature Now's projects align with this philosophy by focusing on specific parcels of land and making carefully planned improvements to achieve significant positive impacts on the community.
