City Repair was the wiki site for The City Repair Project, an all-volunteer grassroots organization helping people reclaim their urban spaces to create community-oriented places.

About The City Repair Project[edit]

The City Repair Project is group of citizen activists creating public gathering places and helping others to creatively transform the places where they live.

City Repair’s projects[edit]

  • inspire people to both understand themselves as part of a larger community and fulfill their own creative potential, and
  • activate people to be part of the communities around them, as well as part of the decision-making that shapes the future of their communities.

The many projects of City Repair have been accomplished by a mostly volunteer staff and the help of hundreds of volunteer citizen activists.

City Repair was formed in Portland, Oregon in 1996 by citizen activists who wanted a more community-oriented and ecologically sustainable society. Born out of a successful grassroots neighborhood initiative that converted a residential street intersection into a neighborhood public square, City Repair began its work with the idea that localization (of culture, of economy, of decision-making) is a necessary foundation of sustainability. By reclaiming urban spaces to create community-oriented places, we plant the seeds for greater neighborhood communication, empower our communities and nurture our local culture.

Operations[edit]

We are an almost entirely volunteer-run social-profit (non-profit) organization. Our projects include:

  • temporary and permanent placemaking installations,
  • community events,
  • educational presentations,
  • consultation and technical assistance,
  • community placemaking facilitation, and
  • the development of our own egalitarian community of activists and volunteers.

The City Repair Project maintains an office in Portland, operating with over 15 largely volunteer and part-time staff, coordinators, and assistants.

We facilitate artistic and ecologically-oriented placemaking through projects that honor the interconnection of human communities and the natural world.

Our Fields of Work[edit]

  • Placemaking and architecture
  • Urban planning and design
  • Ecological and Social Sustainability
  • Community resource localization
  • Nonhierarchical decision-making: Resources include:
  • Seeds for Change, Making Decisions Co-operatively, Starhawk's Activism Page
  • Equality, diversity and peace
  • Cultural identity and Bioregionalism
  • Paradigm reconstruction
