Using GOOD magazine and its website as a platform, GOOD Ideas for Cities aims to advance the role that creative problem-solving and civic engagement play in building great communities.  GOOD Ideas for Cities events will bring together creatives to tackle challenges identified by urban leaders in few new cities and the proposed solutions will be presented to city leaders in front of live audiences, as well as online and in the magazine.  As part of a larger partnership with CEOs for Cities, GOOD will also develop a model for the event that can be locally executed anywhere that designers and civic challenges co-exist.
