Mid- a Discourse on Mid-Size Cities, Issue 1

A journal published by the JCDC that will address shared problems and opportunities of the mid size city. mid- is a platform for the exchange of ideas that will lead to a comprehensive model for achieving a balance between human inhabitation and ecosystems. In the absence of such a dialogue, designers and developers are left to solve the same problems in myriad cities as-if for the first time.  Each volume of mid- will address an urban obstacle and its relationship to one of four target areas: innovation, capital, education and community.  mid- will call for contributions from professionals, academics, and practitioners that work within the 127 MSA's included in our study area.
