About the Film

From frontier outpost to vibrant modern hub, Lexington, Kentucky is a city shaped by deliberate choices—by both its leaders and its people. Today, it stands as a model for how holistic, community-driven policymaking can nurture civic health, strengthen the economy, and honor a city’s history. "Blueprint in the Bluegrass" is part of our six-episode series spotlighting democratic and societal resilience in cities across Europe and the United States, presented in collaboration with the GMF Cities program.
