Civilized cities: building better communities

While traveling around the world, I started noticing the smart and considerate ways communities make their environments better places to live. During a trip to Tokyo in 2015, I created a “Civilized Cities” album on Google Photos, which inspired the name of this page.

Below are some lessons I learned from observing smart decisions that make community life safer, happier, and healthier for all.

Additionally, I am documenting best practices that government organizations implement to truly serve their constituents.
