How can my project resonate with their views, in order to change their views?

What are the cultural commonalities the urban residents have with the suburban?

Where do most people go? No matter race, beliefs, or age.

simple ideas:

-grocery stores

-gas stations

-drug stores

-bus stops

-civic centers 

 

Continued Research on these suburban areas:

 -visit areas and see what their grocery, gas stations & drug stores compare to the inner city.

-what is their main form of recieving information?

-what do they do? what is the best way to make them listen?

-what are they exposed to in daily life?
