Status: proposed, in development. The Digital City is a planned online neighborhood for Hip Hop Peoples: a place where the community's studio work, learning, wellness education and local business stories could live together. It is not available yet, and nothing is for sale.

The idea follows the same logic as the rest of this issue. Culture already has a home in barbershops, studios, churches, block parties and corner stores. The Digital City is meant to give that culture a connected online home too, organized around the four pathway families, so a visitor could move from a story in this magazine to a workshop, a portfolio or a local business.

Building it responsibly means building in public. Each piece will be described in these pages as proposed until it is real, tested and open. When there is real news, we will report it here first.
