Daniel Edwards on rebuilding thriving life in overlooked communities

Last month’s Conquer For Good: Connect talk featured Daniel Edwards of Movement KC, a real estate development company whose focus is rebuilding life in overlooked and forgotten communities. Daniel and his wife, Ebony, dive deep into what makes neighborhoods function better and turn that into a community empowerment initiative where they strive to create the best community possible, starting in East Kansas City. Check out his full talk below.

 

Watch Daniel Edwards address Conquer for Good: Connect. With a degree in architectural engineering, Daniel Edwards knows how to build things. But the challenge of building back decayed urban neighborhoods took his education to a new level. For the past five years, Daniel and his wife Ebony have worked to understand the dynamic of urban development. The result is the Urban Building Project, a catalytic neighborhood development that will provide optimized spaces built around how people live. It’s part of a broader vision to rebuild thriving life in overlooked communities - including integration with jazz, arts and more. Watch Daniel's talk on his vision to move Kansas City forward.
