'We All Come Together As One' by Gamaliel Ramirez et al

Many of the neighborhoods undergoing transformation through the New Communities Program in Chicago have incorporated community arts projects into their larger revitalization strategies. Community arts projects can serve as levers for building community identity, bridging cultural and generational gaps, and transforming neglected properties into useful spaces. The mural featured on the cover, titled “We All Come Together As One,” is in South Chicago and was designed by Gamaliel Ramirez with assistance from local students. Photo credit: Eric Young Smith
