“I grew up on the South Side of Chicago, the son of two public school teachers. When you have teachers as your first models, they put something special, I believe, in your spirit and soul that says that you can help others and be well yourself. Do good by helping others. That has always driven my perspective.” -Leon Walker in Housing Finance Read here: https://lnkd.in/dPtz95GJ

Since 1986, the Mayors' Institute on City Design (MICD) has helped transform communities by preparing over 1,200 mayors to be the chief urban designers of their cities. MICD sessions bring together experts in the allied city design fields — architecture, landscape architecture, equitable development, real estate, and more — to help mayors put their ideals into action in the built environment. This year Leon Walker served as a Resource Team Member for the 79th National Session of the Mayors' Institute on City Design (MICD) in Detroit, Michigan.
The expertise, insight, and collaborative spirit of our design leaders give MICD the potential to have lasting impacts on America’s cities. Many thanks to the design leaders who made the 79th National Session of the Mayors’ Institute on City Design in Detroit, MI last week such a success.

Since the plan was completed, the area has secured millions in state and federal funds and has begun expansive projects, such as the expansion of the CTA Red Line and supporting the Roseland Community Hospital in submitting a $50 million Transformation Plan to the Illinois Department of Health and Family Services. Watch as Leon Walker and Abraham Lacy shed light on the process of the center's development and its purpose for Chicago residents. Video Credit: LISC Chicago
