Cities and towns throughout the United States are struggling with urban sprawl, declining neighborhoods, and deserted downtowns, but a new wave of interest in revitalizing our communities is sweeping the country. This site was created by the Davenport Public Library to assist local government in making our communities better places to live and work. The resources on this site attempt to document the work being done in cities and towns, both in the United States and abroad, and to provide information that can inspire and assist other communities in reinventing their surroundings.  It IS possible to create robust and energetic communities -- vital communities.  New on the Web Site:
