September 10, 2025

Whether it’s official meetings, a walking tour, or a happy hour, Neighborhood Week offers something for everyone. But as you review the busy schedule, don’t sleep on three very special events on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings. Every one of these events will be sure to stimulate your brain, open your heart, and build your advocacy muscles. Here are some details so you know what to expect.

Thursday | 7 to 9 pm | Blau Hall

Neighborhood Fundamentals: Housing, Transportation, and the Comprehensive Land Use Plan

Why is it so hard to rent or buy in Ann Arbor? What are our barriers to walking, biking, or taking transit? How can we envision a better future? Designed for newcomers to housing, planning, and transportation safety activism, these expert-led conversations will cover the basics of how we got here — and where we're going. 

Friday | 7-9 PM | Rackham Amphitheater

Dream Big: Shaping Your Community Vision into Reality

There's lots to love about Ann Arbor, but what does the best version of the city look like? In these sessions, speakers will challenge your perspectives, illustrate why this is a watershed moment in Ann Arbor's trajectory, and show you how you can make a city that's affordable, sustainable, and fun! Join us for discussion to imagine the future of Ann Arbor.

Saturday | 6-8 PM | U-M Ross, Robertson Auditorium

Great Neighborhoods: Lightning Talks

Hear from experts, activists, and passionate neighbors as they share research, civic insights, and inspiring stories in fast-paced presentations. In just 3–5 minutes each, speakers will spark new ideas and practical takeaways—so everyone leaves with fresh inspiration and tools to make a difference!

We want as many of you to come as possible, but seating is limited. Please register now to save your spot!
