Explore small-scale development in action during our South Bend excursion—tour projects, meet local leaders, and build your network.

Join Neighborhood Evolution for an immersive field experience in South Bend, Indiana—home to one of the most dynamic small-scale development ecosystems in the country. This hands-on excursion is designed for aspiring developers, civic leaders, planners, and community builders eager to see what happens when grassroots energy meets strategic reinvestment.

Explore a thriving network of local changemakers who are repurposing underutilized buildings, building “missing middle” housing, and fostering community wealth through innovative ownership models. Led by members of the NEVO team and local partners, this curated tour will feature project walk-throughs, behind-the-scenes access, and conversations with developers, tenants, and city leaders driving change in South Bend.

Come ready to walk, learn, and connect. Whether you're starting your first project or looking to grow your local ecosystem, this trip will leave you inspired, informed, and ready to act.
