Designing Solutions for Cities

What if a team of designers, from many different disciplines, were assigned to your city? What problem would you want them to tackle? We're not just talking about aesthetic changes, but big-picture civic issues that require high-level strategic thinking. What opportunity could use a blast of creative problem-solving that only a designer can provide?

Tell us!  Because we have a team of designers, sponsored by GOOD magazine, ready to tackle your challenges and opportunities and present their solutions at our Strategy Session March 18-20 in San Diego.

Submit your proposal in a short email to sredick@ceosforcities.org.  Give us enough detail to get the designer started.  And be prepared to answer additional questions that come directly from the designer who is matched with your proposal.

We likely won't be able to tackle every proposal submitted, but we are eager to hear from you.

Deadline to submit your proposal is January 30.
