[Projects] The Polis Center |
 | | Our major projects include the Project on Religion and Urban Culture, funded by Lilly Endowment Inc. We use community-based partnerships to explore the ways people of faith have acted to define, sustain, and transform community in the 20th-century city and to understand how the urban environment has shaped congregations and religious practice. |
| | By bringing together members of the academy, religious institutions, and local community organizations for common discussions and activities, the project creates a civic arena for public teaching and learning about the interrelation of religious and community issues. |
| | The SAVI Project (for Social Assets and Vulnerabilities Indicators), undertaken in partnership with the United Way of Central Indiana, is a comprehensive web-delivered database (40 gigabytes) of social indicators, community assets, and demographic information, presented with interactive mapping. |
