The MICD Just City Mayoral Fellowship is a program of the Mayors’ Institute on City Design in partnership with the Just City Lab at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. This unique and highly interactive program brings together a small group of mayors to directly tackle injustices in each of their cities through planning and design interventions.
In the face of a nationwide housing crisis, the 2025 Fellowship will explore what it means to house our communities. The curriculum will introduce mayors and their staff to planning and design frameworks – beyond housing supply and demand – that maximize all city resources to support the broad range of housing needs faced by a broad range of city populations.
The 2025 MICD Just City Mayoral Fellows are: Bloomington, IN Mayor Kerry Thomson; Gainesville, FL Mayor Harvey Ward; Jackson, TN Mayor Scott Conger; Portsmouth, VA Mayor Shannon Glover; Flagstaff, AZ Mayor Becky Daggett; Montgomery, AL Mayor Steven L. Reed; San Bernardino, CA Mayor Helen Tran; and Suisun City, CA Mayor Alma Hernandez.
