kind of community they want.”

Executive Summary – Methodology


Key Components of “Concept and Philosophy of Public Work”

Public work is sustained, visible, serious effort by a diverse mix of ordinary people that creates things of lasting civic or public significance

The ultimate goal is a flourishing democratic way of life, created through a different kind of politics in which citizens take center stage

Belief that citizenship is best seen as work, whether paid or unpaid, that has public meaning, lasting public impact, and contributes to the commonwealth



Key Components of “Concept and Philosophy of Public Work” (cont.)


Consensus that people are creators of the world of ideas in which we live and work, and that this world of ideas shapes our sense of possibility and our range of action

Premise that public works transcend party lines and partisan differences. Diverse groups come together to create parks, schools, and libraries and to organize civic holidays and movements of social reform

Process delivers practical results that are workable, useful and sensible
