A proven answer to our most difficult social problems is underway, and it begins locally. This is a way to heal racial tensions, create bonds of friendship, and cure the loneliness and depression that blights our communities. How to Remake the World One Neighborhood at a Time tells the story of Community Renewal International (CRI), an organization that has built a movement to include cities across the United States and Africa. Where it takes root, crime rates plummet and people come out of their homes to lead happier lives, feeling safe and loved. "You have the premier community renewal building model in the nation. I've never seen a more exciting opportunity than what I see here in Shreveport." - the late Millard Fuller, founder, Habitat for Humanity. "A lot of cities are struggling to build community and CRI is a model for what cities all across America need. I applaud you." - Paul Farmer, executive director and CEO, American Planning Association.

How to Remake the World Neighborhood by Neighborhood is the solution to the social breakdown felt across the country and around the world today. It narrates the story and philosophy of Community Renewal International (CRI), an organization founded in Shreveport, Louisiana. In the places where it has taken root, people build new friendships and begin to restore the bonds that sustain communities so that they thrive. Crime rates plummet. People come out of their homes and grow connections with their neighbors. They become active, caring participants in their societies.
The late Millard Fuller, co-founder of Habitat for Humanity, once described CRI as "the premier community renewal building model in the nation," and his wife and co-founder Linda Fuller writes, "Mack McCarter shares the courageous steps he took to fuse love and caring into relationships, using the best elements of society to improve neighborhoods, cities and our futures."
The book tells the story of how McCarter returned to his home town of Shreveport after many years as a pastor in Texas. He found a city that was racially divided and suffering from violence. With a small group of like-minded people, he intentionally and proactively began engaging with people in the city's most violent and dangerous neighborhood. Over time, studying the history of the rise and fall of civilizations and applying that research to the practical question of community renewal, he developed a replicable system. Today, Black and white, Republican and Democrat, men and women--all who have become part of the "We Care Team," now over 50,000 strong, have remade entire neighborhoods and repaired the fabric of society"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
