Our Urban Future: The Next Era of Making Change in America’s Cities

Thank you for joining us, attendees

America’s cities are home to committed urban changemakers. Over the next decade, these changemakers will need to simultaneously address three essential challenges: racial repair and healing, climate adaptation and resilience, and economic mobility and abundance.

As part of our centennial year, The Kresge Foundation hosted a powerful conference that centered the people and places seeking to address these and other opportunities in American cities.

More than 300 changemakers joined us from September 10 to 12, 2024 to celebrate progress, reflect, discuss what we’re learning, and, most importantly, roll up our sleeves to address the practices and actions required to realize a better future

This event has concluded.
