“Other cities trying to adress the demographic shift haven’t had an education component. While they’re well-intentioned, they do little to address the underlying social issues and involve people of all ages. So they’re not as effective as they could be,” says Bosak. “The Dream book and exhibit are accessible to everyone and invite participation and creative new ideas for Tulsa.”
