Dr. Katherine Loflin

This is why the work of @CityofFortWayne’s Neighborhood Planning & Activation Dept., led by @midwestplanner, is connecting with residents. We connect when we tell our place’s story.

It was a clarion call to cities—as attachment increases, econ growth & population do too. Also helps individual well-being, decreases obesity. Same stayed true in pandemic. What was true in @CityofFortWayne, @katherineloflin saw in Australia & across the world.

One minute into the keynote, @katherineloflin gives @CityofFortWayne a shoutout for setting the right tone when you land @flyfwa & are greeted with a cookie. Fort Wayne was part of her original study of @knightfdn Soul of the Community. #lovewhereyoulive

At tonight’s @AimIndiana legislative dinner, @GovHolcomb explains, “Infrastructure is talent attraction,” listing rail, trails, airports, broadband. Our state needs to invest in these as they’re key to making sure our communities have high quality of life for residents.

@MrFeld77 @DPGilmartin @MiPlaceNews @PlaceAndMain @PPS_Placemaking @NathanTriplett @michiganfuture @PlacemakingX @l4est @ebkent @John_C_Austin @MMLFoundation @murphmonkey @ShannaDraheim Events such as these reveal the soul of a community. Resilience is built as places “weather the storm” and at the heart of that resilience is attachment to place.

Hey @AmericanAir just telling my 15 yo who has never flown unaccompanied before after sitting on the tarmac for hours & now deplaned in DCA with no answers & is scared about her flight getting cancelled & sleeping in the airport that she “flew at her own risk” is beyond pathetic

@bchesky absolutely loved your @TIME interview about the future of work, technology and human connection. Probably because it married all many of my “City Doctor” worlds. Taking a systems’ view and reflecting what the research says too— all in plain language—well done.

@hoskin @nytimes Thank you, clark! I still talk about your work in Norfolk County. Hope you guys are doing well!!
