Activate

Our lives and communities are affected daily by the physical spaces, infrastructure, and investments (or lock thereof) made in our city and neighborhoods. BLDG Memphis works alongside our Members and stakeholders to activate change, which are often complex and sometimes less than inclusive, affect the built and natural environments surrounding us and shape how we interact and connect with one another.


Activating Change

BLDG Memphis Members have access to toolkits and guides for navigating local government divisions and implementing commonly desired neighborhood improvements.

BLDG Memphis Members have customized, effective programs and initiatives to engage residents and stakeholders.

Neighborhood associations, community-based organizations, neighborhood watches, and similar groups have more ways to participate in BLDG Memphis programs and activities.
