Focus groups identified non-burdensome ways that project partners were already collecting or could easily collect information to quantify and track impact. This feedback was developed into quantitative surveys that were administered via partners in 2018 and analyzed in early 2019. Forty one percent of City of Design partners collected or are planning to collect data related to their project’s impact. At this early stage of the work, event attendance and demographic data is easiest to collect, and only three partners were able to measure the impact of programming on changes in perspective, thoughts on participation, or building usage. An additional three partners collected data on investment or revenue from public and private sources. Data collection is ongoing. Wherever impact is cited within this report, it has been sourced via these partner data collection efforts. Interviews to inform the development of the three case studies were conducted in March, 2019, by EarlyWorks, llc. 2 DETROIT UNESCO CITY OF DESIGN | 2019 MONITORING REPORT By championing Detroit design, we contribute to the As a result, we are happy to announce that Detroit development of a thriving city that offers opportunities Creative Corridor Center has become Design Core for all.

  • It's a Pivotal Time for Transportation -- in the U.S., in Southeast Michigan
    It’s a pivotal time for transportation -- in the U.S., in Southeast Michigan, and worldwide. Half the world now lives in city regions. By 2020 that figure will rise to 2/3, challenging current transportation models and policies while at the same time opening exciting new opportunities for business and innovation. Moving Minds: The Next Transportation Infrastructure brings top researchers together with business leaders, entrepreneurs, practitioners and policy makers from around the world and across the U.S. to advance new thinking and to accelerate implementation of systems-based New Mobility solutions and infrastructures. A special focus will be on “Moving Minds” -- understanding the cultural, psychological, and aspirational underpinnings of our relationship to transportation (for both users and leaders), and responding with innovative systems, policies, and business models that address these values sustainably, equitably and compellingly. WELCOME! Dear New Mobility Colleague, We wish you a very warm welcome to Moving Minds: The Next Transportation Infrastructure. As you’ll note from the participant bios posted on the website, every participant has a unique contribution to make to advancing New Mobility, and that is the purpose of this meeting. We are together not just to listen and go away. We’re here to make deep connections and build partnerships that will accelerate new ideas, new projects, new research, new businesses and new policies that transform transportation in a sustainable, equitable, and economically vital direction. You’ll also see from the website and the acknowledgements below that this summit, as SMART in general, is a team effort, part of a growing Global Learning Community.

W On Tuesday, February 20, we hosted the big event: the 23rd annual Commercial Real Estate Awards. This award program is one of the biggest events we have all year. In terms of commercial real estate, there is so much to celebrate: from the brokers who work tireless hours on multi-million-dollar deals, to the general contractors, architects and developers who turn visions into reality on projects that become staple buildings in Los Angeles. The annual event was held at the L.A. Hotel Downtown and was attended by hundreds of Los Angeles’ elite real estate professionals. Our awards recognized the biggest, best and most notable commercial real estate projects of 2017, and the most successful broker and broker teams in the market. The impressive and talented group of people that attended the event this year have single-handedly changed, and are continuing to change, the real estate industry in our own backyard. Their work has a direct impact on LA’s workforce, quality of life, education, and economic prosperity.

Finally, the third project is a potential new Major League Soccer franchise for the Detroit metro area in Michigan. Bridgeview — Chicago Fire Another team at the mercy of a cavernous NFL stadium is Chicago Fire. It currently plays at the recently renovated Soldier Field, which plays host to the NFL’s Chicago Bears. Chicago’s Major League Soccer team has been pushed from pillar- to-post in recent years, wandering from stadium to stadium, all in a bid to find a home of its own. From 1998 to 2001 it played at Solder Field and, in 2003, played at the North Central College’s Cardinal Stadium in Naperville. Now, with the ren- ovations complete, it once more finds itself back at Soldier Field for the 2005 season. However, all this constant upheaval will come to an end in 2006 when the team is due to move into its own, brand new, 100-acre stadium facility, at 71st and Harlem, in the village of Bridgeview, which is located in the Southland region of Chicago.

  • AIA Michigan Michigan Architectural Foundation
    K-5th AIA Michigan A Society of the American Institute of Architects Michigan Architectural Foundation Welcome To “Architecture - It’s Elementary!” Welcome to the American Institute of Architects (“AIA”) Michigan/Michigan Architecture Foundation (“MAF”) Curriculum Guide for the elementary grades. We invite you to participate in “Architecture: It’s Elementary!” Supported by local architects and through a multidisciplinary architectural curriculum, children will gain appreciation of their built environment and the buildings, towns and cities that make it up. This Web-based guidebook for teachers includes ten lesson plans for each elementary school year, from kindergarten through grade five. The curriculum introduces children to the study of architecture and the built environment, encompassing art, social studies, language arts, history, science and math. Since the guidebook was first published, the program has been updated to reflect the incorporation of sustainability principles, in an effort to make children more aware and conscious of their impact on the built and unbuilt environments. These lessons engage children’s bodies, minds, and imaginations to explore how buildings and cities are designed and built. Lessons appeal to the various learning styles of children as they look, explore, think and design. In considering how to create functional, safe and appealing environments, children develop skills of observation, reasoning and critical thinking. These tools will develop within them an appreciation and respect for the built environment. The lessons combine individual and group activities. Within each lesson, Michigan core curriculum standards are noted, and a vocabulary and illustrations are provided. References to basic architectural principles are listed. Lessons can be adapted to your school’s needs and interests, and your input and insights are encouraged to refine and improve the curriculum guide.
