Offered through the Better Bigger Cities Collaborative (BBCC), Fellowship Studio I is a reflective, strategy-focused course designed for mid-career urban professionals. The central question driving the semester is: What further impact do I want to make in the world?
Through a sequence of workshops, peer-coaching sessions, and guest dialogues, Fellows clarify the personal mission that will shape their urban innovation work. The course explores the systemic forces behind urban challenges while supporting each Fellow in developing a unique “urban mission statement” that fuses purpose with professional trajectory.
This studio runs in parallel to the Collaborative Group Project, providing the internal compass for each Fellow’s outward work in applied urban strategy.
