Brighton: More than a location, It's a home 🏡 Brighton isn’t just a place on a map.. it’s the small, everyday connections that make it truly feel like home. It’s the familiar faces at your local cafe, the weekend market where you bump into neighbours and the schools that shape the community. These moments are what make Brighton special. Being part of a community means understanding more than just where the properties are, it’s knowing the pulse of the neighbourhood, the stories behind the homes and the local spots that bring people together. From the schools to the local businesses, it’s about being connected to the things that matter. At Follett & Co, we’re here to share those connections. Whether it’s guiding you through a new chapter in Brighton or helping you stay connected to the place you already love, we understand what makes this community unique because it’s part of who we are. Brighton is more than a location, it’s a place full of life, stories and people. And we’re here to help you feel at home. #BrightonLiving #CommunityConnections #LocalExpertise #FollettCo #BrightonHome

Downtown is BACK! “A new study of more than 60 downtowns across the U.S. and Canada places downtown Minneapolis at the top of the pack when it comes to an increase in visitors over the past year…A previous Downtown Recovery study in mid-2023 by the University of Toronto’s School of Cities determined that downtown Minneapolis was third to last in foot traffic recovery compared to the same period in 2019.” This type of progress doesn’t happen by accident, but is the result of hard work by small businesses, city leaders, local organizations, and community organizers. But most importantly this type of progress is the result on Minnesotans showing up and investing their time, money, and energy in the small businesses and local events at the forefront of downtown’s resurgence. Keep up the good work, Minnesota! #ShopLocal #ReadLocal #VoteLocal

The good momentum and growth along Howard Street (both on the north side in #Evanston and the south side in #Chicago) is due in part to smart city planning and collaborative economic development.

A key focus of Flemington Works is to understand and disrupt the conditions that hold social and economic inequality in place. One such condition is power. To inform our work, we have used this beautiful Far West Community Partnerships model. In practice, when designing and delivering our recent workshop series, this meant doing pre work with service providers and funding and policy partners, demonstrating humility, delivering sessions with Community Advisors in advance of workshops to ensure they felt comfortable and confident with the proposed content and process, establishing an agreed way of working together, curating spaces and seating, using a paid participation model, and ensuring table facilitators had a connection to Community. What efforts have you used to help shift power when working collaboratively?
