City to City Learning Journey

Join us for a City to City Learning Journey to Pittsburgh!

Join a cohort of Detroit’s best cross-sector leaders in Pittsburgh to dive into a 2.5 day, in-depth experience on the city’s infrastructure, social and business innovation, community building, arts & culture institutional design, impactful public-private partnerships, sustainability practices and more. The program’s goal is for each Detroit-based leader to return to the city with new practices, frameworks and relationships to apply to their work in Detroit so that Detroit can continue working towards being an equitable and thriving city.

Thank you to our Planning Partners: The Heinz Endowment and Song United
