City Corner host, Melanie Adams, sits down with some of the most collective group of diverse minds here in St. Louis dedicated to enhancing the vitality of cities and turning shared experience into a shared St. Louis Arts Project.

It brings together groups of people who share meals and community proposals, in a different venue every month. The venues and soup are provided by local establishments, chefs, and community members. KWMU Young Friends, Zoë Scharf, also joins the conversation and talks about CityPulse, a citywide network of beacons providing pedestrian lighting as interactive art, detects and reports street-level activity in real time, creates civic connections, and offers a new platform for human interactions and entrepreneurship. For more information about the organization and these projects. Watch the video below.
