In the 1980s, the Parklands community of Washington, DC was devastated due the lack of civic resources and the rise of crime. In response, real estate developer WC Smith set out to create THEARC — Town Hall Education Arts and Recreation Campus. THEARC is now the largest multi-sector non-profit collaboration in the country. Building Opportunities | Bridging Communities tells the origin story of THEARC and the impact it has had on residents of Parklands.
