CIVIC6 outlines six moral virtues at the heart of ethical infrastructure work: Care, Integrity, Vision, Inclusion, Courage, and Stewardship. These aren’t vague ideals—they’re touchstones that guide everything from design decisions to department culture, community engagement, and inter-agency dynamics.

Each principle in the framework helps uncover blind spots, weigh tradeoffs, and realign technical work with public trust. From paving decisions to public meetings, from ADA retrofits to climate adaptation—CIVIC6 reminds practitioners to ask not only what’s allowed, but what’s just, thoughtful, and humanizing.

The full toolkit includes definition prompts, case examples, implementation guides, and reflection formats for individuals and teams.
