A new perspective on developing shared joy in urban spaces.

Our divided society is quickly reaching crisis level. We are no longer able to sustain social and economic prosperity nor to ensure democracy. Fuelling this crisis is a growing sense of social isolation caused by the decline of infrastructure that used to bring communities together along with the divisive nature of social media.

But there is hope for rebuilding our collaborative society and it is found in our mid-sized urban areas. These towns and cities offer a scale that can tangibly change the quality of our lives and an intimacy that allows us to influence what our communities can become. Changing cities can change the world!

In The Joy Experiments, real estate developer Scott Higgins and creative mind Paul Kalbfleisch use their own mid-sized city-building experiences to present a new way for citizens to engage with their city and an urban planning strategy that prioritizes Infrastructure for the Human Spirit.
