Overview
"East Somerville, celebrated for its vibrant arts scene and diverse community, is thriving with placemaking efforts fostering connection and belonging. Despite challenges, organizations like East Somerville Main Streets are making strides in engaging the community. Through insightful interviews and partnerships, valuable insights into community needs and ongoing initiatives have emerged. This thesis aims to explore these positive dynamics, culminating in the creation of Cubo, an innovative platform centralizing access to resources and empowering local participation. Cubo will serve as a tool for unity, contributing to the continued vibrancy and success of East Somerville." --Abstract
