10th Annual Gateway Cities Innovation Institute Awards and Summit
Social Infrastructure for Vibrant Communities
November 15, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
MassINC invites you to join our 10th Annual Gateway Cities Innovation Institute Awards & Summit. The theme for this year’s summit is social infrastructure. Together, we will explore strategies to promote social interaction through the built environment.
The pandemic demonstrated the value of social capital and the various ways in which social infrastructure fosters civic connection. With the infusion of federal recovery and infrastructure funds, Gateway Cities have an enormous opportunity to think creatively about how they can build more vibrant communities by enhancing their social infrastructure.
