Abstract
The aim of this project was to educate young adults--particularly in Milwaukee, Wisconsin--about urban revitalization and urban renewal in their own community. Milwaukee has historically been subject to disinvestment and urban decay for the last few decades. Due to this, our group decided to hone in one of the most important voices of tomorrow: teenagers and young adults. Our Instagram campaign dissects our research in a more digestible format. Furthermore, it allows us to give community members useful information about urban revitalization, Milwaukee's history, and even local ways to get involved.
