Unlike many news organizations, putting up a paywall was never part of our plan. However, providing training for our team and creating the content that you have grown to love & rely on takes time, money, and a lot of effort to produce. For that, we need your support.
If everyone who finds value in The Global Grid news would help fund it, we will be able to continue bringing you local urbanist news from around the globe, train even more young graduates and professionals, and build one of the greatest online communities of urban enthusiasts and city lovers. This is why, today, we are launching our Patreon page to make it easy for members of our community, like you, to support our work.
