In 2009, the CityDesign Studio was created as an office of the City of Dallas, Texas. Developed in partnership with the Trinity Trust Foundation and funded by Deedie and Rusty Rose, the Studio's mission is to engage all communities in city planning, urban design, and the arts.
The Studio is using its MICD25 grant on their project Connecting the City, which will utilize design to overcome physical barriers separating Dallas's communities. This will include cultural mapping of the creative community, with input from all citizens on how to build the city with specific focus on the arts and design; design of communities that have been historically neglected, such as West Dallas, South Dallas, and Oak Cliff; and public art competitions that will engage public infrastructure where it has divided or become a burden to communities. Through this project, the Studio hopes to better connect the 1.2 million people that live in the 385 square miles that make up the city.
