Edgewater/Cuddell | Community Organizing
Colin Compton is fascinated with the living, breathing ecosystems of cities and neighborhoods. Coming from an architecture and historic preservation background that only rarely mentioned residents or community members, he has learned through his time in Cleveland that neighborhoods are more about people than they are about buildings and businesses. He believes in asset-based approaches that leverage the strengths of a community in order to create positive change. Colin believes some methods to achieve positive change can be obtained by inviting renters to local conversations, as well as through events that are beneficial to both renters and owners. He is only interested in group participation; the work of a team will always outperform the work of one lone genius.
