“Rondo community land bridge-- more than just a bridge - creating an african american cultural enterprise district connected by a community land bridge. The rondo land bridge project aims to revitalize an african american cultural enterprise district and offers an opportunity to build an inclusive and equity-based local economy that not only restores what was lost but creates a continuous cycle of net-positive economic, social and environmental benefits for the neighborhood and beyond. The restorative development approach championed by reconnectrondo leverages the principles of the circular economy, regenerative urbanism, and smart city technologies to create district wealth and wellbeing, while intentionally creating career paths and living-wage jobs for residents who have been denied access to economic opportunity in the past”
