ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Connecting communities to important economic development/urban planning concepts is one of RADish's specialties.
RADish created the community engagement strategy/community data analysis report for a local TIF District Feasibility Study on behalf of Neighborhood Revitalization/Policy expert, Austin Harrison.
YOUTH WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
Smithsonian Folklife Festival hosts Tech-Teach, a program for high school students interested in learning trades/crafts. Students learn drafting, carpentry, welding, metal work, and elements of technical production.
RADish provided strategic partnership/fundraising support for this youth workforce development program.
CREATIVE ECONOMY
Crafts of African Fashion is an initiative promoting the continuity of heritage arts in Africa. It explores the important role the creative economy/cultural enterprises play in sustaining communities and connecting generations on the continent and in the diaspora.
RADish provided project consultation for this project.
FAIR HOUSING
South Memphis Future & Funk Festival, a festival that re-imagined the discussion around fair housing and beautifully merged Afrofuturistic concepts of home with housing information. The festival featured music, a community garden, and an African style booth.
RADish produced this event with United Housing Inc. and CTC.
EQUITABLE LAND DEVELOPMENT
Equitable land use and developing a diverse land development workforce are essential for cities to thrive.
RADish has worked with institutions such as ULI Memphis and Smithsonian's Tech-Teach to ensure traditionally marginalized groups acquire skills to contribute to a more inclusive development sector pipeline.
