Is it possible the current pandemic has given us the opportunity to re-think our assumptions about our neighbourhoods? Steve MacDouell and James Kingsley will help us explore new ideas in our neighbourhood creatively compelled by the notion of micro-neighbourliness: the small, patient, and practical ways that we pivot toward our localities and the people that we share them with.
