Interviewees describe the role of City Repair in Portland Oregon life.
Produced by Tom Allen
In the intersection of 49ty and Burke in Seattle's Wallingfor neighborhood is a painted ladybug that takes up the entire intersection. What is that about? It's the City Repair project. It started in Portland Oregon and has spread across the US and Canada.
This is a unique form of community building that gets to the core of city life - that cities should support people as as citizens who participate in the life of the city beyond being workers and cnosumers. See also realted program "Why Portland" also by Tom Allen citizens
