Friends of MICD,

The presentation from our recent seminar on designing for restorative justice is now available on our website. Watch architect Deanna Van Buren share ideas for converting unused criminal justice infrastructure into spaces for healing, as well as lots of great examples of nimble pop-up and mobile infrastructure that can support people coming out of incarceration. We encourage you to check it out, and stay tuned for our next seminar, coming soon.

Mayors' Virtual Seminar: Designing for Restorative Justice

In this seminar, architect Deanna Van Buren explored how cities can create spaces of restoration rather than spaces that encourage mass incarceration. As co-founder of Designing Justice + Designing Spaces, an architecture and real estate development nonprofit, Deanna creates spaces and buildings for restorative justice, community building, and housing for people coming out of incarceration. This seminar explored the ways city leaders can reimagine traditional “justice cores” as community assets, through examples in Atlanta, Oakland, and more.
