From neighborhood issues to public meetings, people are constantly trying to make sense of what’s happening around them. In this workshop, we’ll share what we heard from Chicagoans during a recent special assignment about what they want to know, what’s been hard to figure out, and what would make information more clear and useful.

From city council to city colleges, commission on landmarks to the metropolitan water reclamation board documenters spend hours inside the rooms where decisions take shape. This event brings us together to step back from our individual notes and look at the bigger picture.
