We’re pleased to be part of the Mayor’s Institute on City Design’s Alumni Technical Assistance program!
The Mayors’ Institute on City Design (MICD) announced the inaugural participants of MICD Alumni Technical Assistance (ATA), including 12 mayors and 27 design professionals. MICD ATA matches selected mayors with nationally renowned design experts for assistance with a case study project, either a continuation of their original MICD case study project or a new project focused on racial justice in the built environment. This program brings the spirit of MICD – candid, concrete, expert advice in a trusted setting – to a virtual offering while in-person Institute sessions are on hold.
