What Is the Virtual Village?
The Virtual Village is the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative's experiment using computer and software technology as community-building tools. We hope to use our web page to enrich our relationship with residents of the Dudley Street Neighborhood and to expand our boundaries beyond Boston so that we may reach out and interact regularly with our growing number of friends, colleagues and supporters -- our extended community.
We envision this becoming a vehicle for mutual learning. We also hope it will serve, among other things, as a tool that will help demonstrate how locally-based economies can be viable -- even thrive -- in the global marketplace.
Like our Urban Village, the Virtual Village is a work in progress. In many instances it will mirror the Urban Village. We hope you will find this both interesting and helpful. We also hope that you will provide us with feedback, insights and ideas that you think might be helpful to us.
