BUILDING COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS

Building Community Connections describes
our quality of life and the culture, arts, and
places that make Greensboro unique and
memorable and the that ties us together as a
community. This Big Idea includes strategies that
improve livability, strengthen neighborhoods,
and increase public safety, access to affordable
housing, and public amenities. It encompasses
historic preservation, arts and culture, and
education. The strategies in this section will
establish Greensboro’s identity by promoting the
cultural and educational opportunities that make
Greensboro a vibrant place.

Why Build Community Connections?
Greensboro’s community defines our city. One of
the most significant threads in public comments
was that people liked the friendly, engaging, and
open spirit of Greensboro, and are very satisfied
with the quality of life found here. In particular,
people said they appreciated the number of
amenities Greensboro has for a city its size.
Focusing on community and the “softer” assets of
the city is a vital part of the future of Greensboro.
