September 10, 2008- On October 20th-22nd, 2008, Mayor Mark Mallory will host three expert resource team members as they and City of Cincinnati staff review plans for the Walnut Hills neighborhood. Mayor Mallory attended a Mayors’ Institute on City Design Session in Charleston, South Carolina in 2006 and presented plans for Walnut Hill, one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods with an historic commercial corridor. This will be the second such visit since the Mayors’ Institute launched the Alumni Technical Assistance program in February 2008.
Complementing the original MICD model, which invites mayors to bring their design case studies to a session to share with fellow mayors and a panel of nationally renowned design experts, the Alumni Assistance program gathers a small team of design experts in a mayor’s community to perform a more detailed study of the project. The assistance builds upon the lessons learned during a mayor’s experience at an MICD session, using his or her city design case study as a starting point for continuing the dialogue.
