The spring issue of the National Civic Review explores the evolving infrastructure of democracy and belonging — from dinner tables to city halls. Articles examine how shared meals foster social connection, how local governments are reforming electoral systems and police oversight through public deliberation, and how communities are combining citizen assemblies with participatory budgeting.
Contributors also highlight the civic muscle behind effective citizen engagement, discuss the seven principles for impactful citizens’ assemblies in practice, and reflect on the civic virtue of committing to a place. Together, these stories illuminate how communities are revitalizing democracy from the ground up.

Maryland’s Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS) regulation is in effect. Did you know that buildings 35,000 square feet and larger (excluding the parking garage area) are “covered” by the regulation and need to comply? The goal is for covered buildings to efficiently achieve net-zero direct greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. Efficient net-zero direct emissions buildings improve comfort, resilience, and reliability, and provide savings on energy costs compared to old, inefficient buildings.
We are nearing the end of the 2025 Banner City/Town year.
