Building a Complete American Neighborhood:

How Technology is Connecting Communities and Schools

Digital event focused on San Jose and Silicon Valley

February 17, 2022
12:00 pm PT - 1:30 pm PT

A Reimagine America’s Schools and CityAge digital event in association with the Siegel Family Endowment

America’s neighborhoods are the heart of its cities. They are the barometers of the nation’s health, dynamism and future. 

Now it's time to make every American neighborhood a complete neighborhood. That means prioritizing equity by infusing communities with better access to opportunity, especially historically underserved communities of color.

That’s why the second event in our series on the Complete American Neighborhood will look at San Jose, and how its neighborhoods and leaders are building a new livability around Silicon Valley’s global innovation powerhouse.

And, crucially - complete neighborhoods provide opportunities in the innovation economy - the force behind new jobs and opportunities for every American. 

Building a Complete American Neighborhood rests on four pillars: equity, community, education and work. They’re a 15 Minute City, they have schools at the center of their community, their urban space provides easy access to daily necessities, and they offer life-long learning for all residents. 

Catalyzed by Reimagine America’s Schools (a program of the National Design Alliance), the Siegel Family Endowment and CityAge, The Complete American Neighborhood seeks to launch a regional and national dialogue on how to ensure every community has an opportunity to build more complete, inclusive, and innovative neighborhoods.
