As we reflect on our work this year, we invite you to explore some of the lessons and themes that emerged at the Mayors’ Institute on City Design in 2024. Read a sampling of the recommendations and resources shared with mayors this year: some recurring, some rather new, all critical for steadfast leadership in this moment of changing tides.
The University of Florida School of Architecture hosted a Special Session of the Mayors’ Institute on City Design in Gainesville, FL from October 23-25, 2024. With host Mayor Harvey Ward, the event convened seven mayors and seven design leaders in a collaborative workshop to discuss the most pressing design and development issues in each of their cities.
MICD is glad to announce an opportunity for universities and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations to serve as partners to host and organize 2025-2026 Special Sessions of the Mayors’ Institute on City Design.
In the face of a nationwide housing crisis, the 2025 Fellowship will explore what it means to house our communities. Interested mayors may submit an expression of interest form through Friday, November 15, 2024 to be considered for this program.
MICD is seeking consultant(s) to identify and research emerging best practices and to create concrete, in-depth resources for mayors and city staff on embedding design, arts, and culture into their work.
