The Village Building Convergence 2007 (VBC7), presented by The City Repair Project, is a 10-day event from May 18- May 27, 2007 in which neighborhoods activate to build public places that they have envisioned, designed, funded, and will maintain themselves. Projects are created as a way for neighborhoods to craft physical places that express their local relationships, culture, and facilitate gathering and communication. All projects are built through collaboration, community conversations and commitment of a neighborhood to strengthen itself. Projects are founded on developing strong local relationships, social capital and equity, placemaking and ecological design, and supporting our local economy.
