“It’s incredible to watch the amplification of Black thought,” says Bilal. “That’s an absolutely essential part of city-building making every voice heard.”
“Storytelling has the power to heal,” says Lane Smith. “It has the power to bridge connections. It has the power to build relationships where there weren’t any.”
“Let’s start to engineer cultural joy in schools,” says Bilal. “I want all of us to wake up ready for joy!”
Lane Smith agrees. “When you have joy that overflows, it’s infectious. It impacts everyone.”

Urban Consulate Presents: Black Future City wants to know what a thriving community might look like through the imaginations of Black visionaries and changemakers. The objective is to center Black voices in visioning a more vibrant, equitable and vivacious city life, says Naimah Bilal, program host and co-host of Urban Consulate Cincinnati.
Urban Consulate is a network of salons across the country that host conversations about civic issues and social life. In Cincinnati, the salons (in non-COVID times) are held at the Mercantile Library.
Topics during
Black Future City will broadly cover a spectrum of equity issues. Part of the discussion will be framed by the question What does a vibrant city look like? Bilal says. And further, How can we apply a universal design principle to city building? That is, the principle that centers the needs of those who are oft forgotten and often the most vulnerable.
