20	21 Malden Works Community Meeting Malden Works is a new project on the Malden River. We are building a coalition of community leaders of color, youth, environmental advocates, and government officials as well as designers-eager for community input. With your help, the Malden River waterfront can become a park for public enjoyment and recreation. We also will improve our river's wildlife habitat and our city's flood resiliency. This is a public kick-off event to begin the community conversation about the future of Malden's waterfront. Alexie Torres, a nationally sought-after speaker, will begin the evening program. She will share her story of creating a community-driven movement to revitalize parks along the Bronx River. This project builds off of the City's Open Space and Recreation Plan and is made possible through a generous grant from the MIT Norman B. Leventhal Center for Advanced Urbanism, which has awarded the Malden Works team with the first ever Norman B. Leventhal City Prize for equitable resilience.
