The purpose of the City Soul project is to strengthen city planning through increased contributions from faith-based institutions. City Soul facilitates this by enhancing communication, understanding, and collaboration between faith communities and city planners. Faith communities rarely interact with city planners except when problems arise. City Soul moves beyond this by facilitating the exchange of knowledge between these groups in a more enriched way. The initiative also provides direction for faith-based organizations to work collaboratively on community and common good initiatives.
