COMING SOON TO HELP REVITALIZE CITIES & RURAL REGIONS EVERYWHERE...
RISING PLACES: The Free Online Tool For Creating Inclusive, Resilient Prosperity.
Currently, those working to revitalize communities—or to make them more resilient—have to rely on generic tools like PowerPoint, GIS, Facebook, email polls, etc. This year (2022), we're introducing RISING PLACESTM, the world's first social media to advance efficient, inclusive, green economic renewal (urban or rural).
This FREE tool is designed around the RECONOMICS ProcessTM. It provides local leaders and residents all of the collaboration and survey tools they need to reliably accelerate strong, green, equitable economic growth.
Likewise, it makes the work of our Revitalization & Resilience Facilitators (RRFac) easier and more effective. While anyone in the community can use the tool free, only a certified RRFac can launch it locally. It will also feed an annual Rising Places Report, helping to attract employers and real estate investors to your community.
WHY DO MOST LOCAL RESILIENCE AND REVITALIZATION INITIATIVES FAIL?
1) No Integration: Resilience work must revitalize. Revitalization must be resilient.
2) No Strategic, Ongoing Process: Just static, ignored plans & isolated projects.
RECOVERY & RESILIENCE
Healing While Preventing
Disease, terrorism, economic volatility, resource depletion, natural disaster & climate change all drive demand for revitalization & resilience.

RECONOMICSTM
If your community isn't revitalizing, it's devitalizing.
There's no such thing as healthy statis.
RECONOMICS is a revitalizing framework that repurposes, renews and reconnects your natural, built and socioeconomic assets.
The more a place revitalizes,
the more it CAN revitalize.
RECONOMICS is a reliable renewal process of program, vision, strategy, policies, partnerships and projects.
Reliable production of anything requires a process. Do you have one for revitalization or resilience?
The RECONOMICS Process generates equitable, sustainable, resilient prosperity for all.
It enhances confidence in the local future, which attracts / retains residents, employers and investors.
"Given today's constant, concurrent crises, this new micro-credential—RRFac—should be of great
interest to public leaders and private professionals who want to be successful solution providers.
Mastery of legal, financial and technical tools no longer suffices. Strategic process is key." - FEMA
