The Honorable Greg Cromer, Mayor of the City of Slidell, will participate in the Mayors’ Institute on City Design (MICD) at Tulane University’s School of Architecture from March 29-31, 2022.
At the invitation of the National Endowment for the Arts and the United States Conference of Mayors, Mayor Cromer will have the opportunity to receive pragmatic recommendations on urban planning and design challenges from six of the nation’s renowned design and development experts.
Mayor Cromer said it will be an opportunity for him to share how the City of Slidell is harnessing their strategic geographic proximity to markets across the Gulf South to attract businesses and residents and leveraging their Olde Towne area to bolster their creative arts, cultural, and recreational assets.
As cities emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic with a renewed focus on equity, safety, and opportunity for all, this Mayors’ Institute session will provide actionable ideas for city leaders rising to meet this moment of change.
MICD is the nation’s preeminent forum for mayors to address these issues through the lens of city design and development.
Since 1986, the Mayors’ Institute has helped transform communities by preparing mayors to be the chief urban designers of their cities.
MICD sessions bring together experts in the allied city design fields – architecture, planning, landscape architecture, equitable development, and more – to help mayors put their ideals into action in the built environment.
