The model, reproducible by anyone, created a shared discussion context in meetings

I worked with a neighborhood group to create a process for park renovation based on community-owned design and a public-private funding model that has become the standard approach for park redevelopment in San Francisco.
Community ownership of the design process was the true innovation that we brought to a broken system of civic park stewardship.
Our first tiny grant paid for a party in the park to bring the community together around our needs. Signatures gathered at the party established credibility with a private foundation who gave us enough money to sponsor a design competition for the park. The excitement of the competition and the neighborhood meetings surrounding it resulted in a great design, and convinced both our private sponsors and the city that investing in our park would produce success for everyone.
