The Great Lakes region has long been defined by its freshwater, industrious communities and capacity to continually reinvent itself as an economic engine.
As changing climate conditions, aging infrastructure and shifting populations point toward a reprioritization of Great Lakes cities in the coming decades, we are excited to help build a dynamic coalition of partners across the Great Lakes Basin to think boldly about the region’s future.
We recognize there are already a multitude of groups thinking about the Great Lakes’ future, but we believe we can forge a unique coalition ready for bold, positive actions — all through the lens of design and systems thinking.
We are hopeful you will join us for our Ann Arbor kickoff event. This promises to be an intimate, interactive, enjoyable and challenging exercise that will lay the foundation for where the Great Lakes ReFRESH goes next.
Given that Ann Arbor is consistently touted as a leading climate haven in North America, there’s never been a better time for this conversation
