“It just feels different when people and their needs are at the center of a project’s planning, design, and investment decisions. Building mixed-income housing next to childcare, cultural spaces, pedestrian and bike paths, parks and playgrounds, small businesses that serve the community, transit hubs, and quality schools profoundly shifts the social cohesion of a neighborhood.”
— Michael Callahan-Kapoor, Deputy Director at Stand Up Nashville (SUN). SUN and the Shift Nashville coalition are organizing around an upcoming referendum that would overhaul the city’s public transportation system and provide an unprecedented opportunity to invest in community priorities, like affordable housing, good jobs, climate-resilient infrastructure, public green spaces, and more. |
