Vanguard-Next City / May 31, 2020
Adelyn Hall, the Community Learning Center Institute’s Director of School-Centered Neighborhood Deveelopment, has been chosen as a Vanguard Fellow. Designed to bring together professionals working across disciplines and sectors, each Vanguard class includes policymakers and politicians, architects and urban planners, artists and mediamakers, all selected through a competitive application process.
From New Orleans to New Delhi, this class of innovators demonstrates ingenuity and resilience to tackle the regional challenges of our delicate urban landscape. View the entire Vanguard group here.
The Vanguard initiative was launched by Next City, a journalism nonprofit with a mission to inspire social, economic and environmental change in cities through reporting and events around the world. For this international conference, we chose 44 Vanguards from a highly competitive pool of applicants that came from around the world.
“Within our lifetimes there won’t be a more critical time to focus on developing communities that are equitable, safe and aesthetically pleasing,” says Cecelia Thompson, executive director of Action Greensboro. “The 2020 Next City Vanguards’ expertise is what we need to help shape our nation’s cities. Greensboro is looking forward to showcasing the unique work in progress here and capturing their collective input.”
“A focus on the most vulnerable among us has always been critical, but today more people are recognizing we’re in this together,” says Lucas Grindley, Next City’s executive director. “That’s why Next City is grateful to bring the Vanguards to Greensboro this fall to learn and share their experiences, as all of us will need inspiration for the change that must come next.”
