What is the Lincoln Institute doing locally to help people make collective decisions?
The film is just a first step in increasing people’s awareness of the issues that face the Greater Portland area. As part of its outreach program, the Lincoln Institute is collaborating with a variety of community organizations, civic groups and other institutions to create a better understanding of the planning process. This includes working with Planning and Leadership Across City Environments (PLACE), a Catlin Gabel School program for public and private high school students across Greater Portland area, to create a series of classroom viewings and discussions. Through multiple screenings, the Lincoln Institute and its existing and future partners, seek to further the discussion on how to better plan and design for Greater Portland’s future.
