Our Little Rock was founded in 2023 by a group of livability advocates who saw an unsettling connection between local socio-economic issues and the city’s transportation and land-use policies and practices. Our Little Rock was created to offer education and advocacy for human-scaled urban design to enable residents throughout Little Rock to live in affordable, right-sized homes, and move about independently to socialize, get to/from work, and access their day-to-day needs.
Our goals are to: 1) enhance civic engagement through dialogue across lived experiences, 2) enable equitable mobility options for people of all abilities and income-levels to safely walk, bike and roll, and 3) encourage productive land-use for more walkable neighborhoods and housing options for all stages of life.
Our programs fall into three buckets:
1) Introduction to People-Oriented Places
2) Cultivate Effective Strong Town Advocates
3) Encourage Human Habitat Initiatives
