City Detect’s Post

National Good Neighbor Day Being a good neighbor means more than a friendly wave — it’s about creating spaces where everyone feels safe and seen. At City Detect, we empower cities to build those communities with smart tools that support voluntary compliance, beautification, and proactive urban care. As researchers Nguyen & Ahern note, “Neighborhoods with higher social cohesion can draw on collective strength to adapt, recover, and thrive in the face of environmental and social stressors.” (International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2023). That’s why investing in strong neighborhoods isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about resilience. Communities with connected neighbors are better able to withstand challenges, support one another, and emerge stronger together. Here’s to thriving neighborhoods and the neighbors who make them great! #GoodNeighborDay #CityDetect #CommunityFirst #UrbanInnovation #SmartCities
