If you have been in Charlotte a long time or have just moved to the Queen City, we are growing exponentially! This series is designed to keep you educated and informed.
Free lunches (Greek salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and pepperoncini with feta cheese on the side, hummus with pita, chocolate chip cookie, and bottled water) will be provided for the first 35 people to register. All others are welcome to bring a vegetarian lunch and join us. 

On Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2026, join the UNC Charlotte Urban Institute for an introduction to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Quality of Life Explorer, a powerful online tool that helps residents better understand the social, housing, economic, environmental, and safety conditions of the community through maps, data, and neighborhood trends. This session is designed for curious minds who seek to learn how their neighborhoods are changing and how local data can provide new insights into quality of life across Charlotte.
