DESCRIPTION:IDA Awards Top Industry Honor to Downtown Detroit PartnershipA
 ward Recognizes Innovative Achievement in Urban Place Management 								\
 n				\n				\n				\n									DETROIT – The International Downtown Associa
 tion (IDA) has recognized the Downtown Detroit Partnership (DDP) with the 
 Downtown Achievement Pinnacle Award for its work and initiatives related t
 o the DDP’s I-375 Peer Review and community engagement. The DDP’s proj
 ect submission is titled “A New Standard for Community-Driven Engagement
 : Repairing the Past and Shaping the Future.” Each year\, IDA recognizes
  outstanding projects through the Downtown Achievement Awards\, which hono
 r organizations worldwide for advancing urban centers. Its highest honor\,
  the Pinnacle Award\, celebrates the most inspiring innovations in urban p
 lace management. This year\, an IDA member jury selected winners in leader
 ship development\; organizational management\; economic development\; mark
 eting\, communications and events\; planning\, design and infrastructure\;
  policy and advocacy\; and public space management and operations. DDP’s
  Peer Review and community engagement initiatives won in the Policy and Ad
 vocacy category. The I-375 Reconnecting Communities Project\, led by the M
 ichigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and the City of Detroit\, prop
 osed replacing a downtown freeway with a surface-level boulevard. Early de
 signs prioritized traffic flow\, relied on outdated data and were introduc
 ed without fully integrating meaningful public input\, leaving residents a
 nd business leaders questioning whether the project reflected a shared vis
 ion for Detroit’s future. Backed by a $3.2 million grant from The Kresge
  Foundation\, DDP stepped forward to lead an independent Peer Review and a
  comprehensive engagement process that brought together residents\, corpor
 ate and small business leaders\, institutional partners\, and visitor pers
 pectives. The effort reframed the project around current data\, best pract
 ices and community priorities\, and united diverse stakeholders\, leverage
 d catalytic public funding for maximum economic and placemaking impact and
  established a replicable framework for community-led infrastructure plann
 ing. “The Pinnacle Award is a tremendous honor for the Downtown Detroit 
 Partnership and our partners which affirms the depth of our efforts to ens
 ure a community-driven process that respects Detroit’s past while shapin
 g its future. The I-375 Peer Review demonstrates what is possible when we 
 listen to the community and work together toward a shared vision. We thank
  the International Downtown Association for recognizing this work and the 
 many partners who contributed their expertise and perspectives to this imp
 ortant process\,” said Eric B. Larson\, CEO of the Downtown Detroit Part
 nership. DDP was recognized for their award-winning project during an awar
 ds ceremony at the 72nd Annual Conference & Marketplace. IDA’s Annual Co
 nference & Marketplace is the premier gathering for professional place man
 agers and urban champions creating vibrant and healthy cities around the w
 orld. For more information about the session and conference\, please visit
  the event webpage. “DDP’s innovative project received the IDA Pinnacl
 e Award for setting the new standard for improving cities around the world
 \,” said David Downey\, IDA president and CEO. “The DDP’s I-375 Peer
  Review has made an impact on its community and the people who live\, work
 \, and play there\, and is evidence of the continued commitment to champio
 n livable\, vital\, and thriving urban centers.” Additional information 
 on the 2026 Pinnacle award winners can be found online at downtown.org. Re

DESCRIPTION:IDA Awards Top Industry Honor to Downtown Detroit PartnershipA
 ward Recognizes Innovative Achievement in Urban Place Management 								\
 n				\n				\n				\n									DETROIT – The International Downtown Associa
 tion (IDA) has recognized the Downtown Detroit Partnership (DDP) with the 
 Downtown Achievement Pinnacle Award for its work and initiatives related t
 o the DDP’s I-375 Peer Review and community engagement. The DDP’s proj
 ect submission is titled “A New Standard for Community-Driven Engagement
 : Repairing the Past and Shaping the Future.” Each year\, IDA recognizes
  outstanding projects through the Downtown Achievement Awards\, which hono
 r organizations worldwide for advancing urban centers. Its highest honor\,
  the Pinnacle Award\, celebrates the most inspiring innovations in urban p
 lace management. This year\, an IDA member jury selected winners in leader
 ship development\; organizational management\; economic development\; mark
 eting\, communications and events\; planning\, design and infrastructure\;
  policy and advocacy\; and public space management and operations. DDP’s
  Peer Review and community engagement initiatives won in the Policy and Ad
 vocacy category. The I-375 Reconnecting Communities Project\, led by the M
 ichigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and the City of Detroit\, prop
 osed replacing a downtown freeway with a surface-level boulevard. Early de
 signs prioritized traffic flow\, relied on outdated data and were introduc
 ed without fully integrating meaningful public input\, leaving residents a
 nd business leaders questioning whether the project reflected a shared vis
 ion for Detroit’s future. Backed by a $3.2 million grant from The Kresge
  Foundation\, DDP stepped forward to lead an independent Peer Review and a
  comprehensive engagement process that brought together residents\, corpor
 ate and small business leaders\, institutional partners\, and visitor pers
 pectives. The effort reframed the project around current data\, best pract
 ices and community priorities\, and united diverse stakeholders\, leverage
 d catalytic public funding for maximum economic and placemaking impact and
  established a replicable framework for community-led infrastructure plann
 ing. “The Pinnacle Award is a tremendous honor for the Downtown Detroit 
 Partnership and our partners which affirms the depth of our efforts to ens
 ure a community-driven process that respects Detroit’s past while shapin
 g its future. The I-375 Peer Review demonstrates what is possible when we 
 listen to the community and work together toward a shared vision. We thank
  the International Downtown Association for recognizing this work and the 
 many partners who contributed their expertise and perspectives to this imp
 ortant process\,” said Eric B. Larson\, CEO of the Downtown Detroit Part
 nership. DDP was recognized for their award-winning project during an awar
 ds ceremony at the 72nd Annual Conference & Marketplace. IDA’s Annual Co
 nference & Marketplace is the premier gathering for professional place man
 agers and urban champions creating vibrant and healthy cities around the w
 orld. For more information about the session and conference\, please visit

 n				\n				\n				\n									DETROIT – The International Downtown Associa

 Downtown Achievement Pinnacle Award for its work and initiatives related t
 o the DDP’s I-375 Peer Review and community engagement. The DDP’s proj
 ect submission is titled “A New Standard for Community-Driven Engagement
 : Repairing the Past and Shaping the Future.” Each year\, IDA recognizes
  outstanding projects through the Downtown Achievement Awards\, which hono
 r organizations worldwide for advancing urban centers. Its highest honor\,
  the Pinnacle Award\, celebrates the most inspiring innovations in urban p
 lace management. This year\, an IDA member jury selected winners in leader
 ship development\; organizational management\; economic development\; mark
 eting\, communications and events\; planning\, design and infrastructure\;
  policy and advocacy\; and public space management and operations. DDP’s
  Peer Review and community engagement initiatives won in the Policy and Ad
 vocacy category. The I-375 Reconnecting Communities Project\, led by the M
 ichigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and the City of Detroit\, prop
 osed replacing a downtown freeway with a surface-level boulevard. Early de
 signs prioritized traffic flow\, relied on outdated data and were introduc
 ed without fully integrating meaningful public input\, leaving residents a
 nd business leaders questioning whether the project reflected a shared vis
 ion for Detroit’s future. Backed by a $3.2 million grant from The Kresge
  Foundation\, DDP stepped forward to lead an independent Peer Review and a
  comprehensive engagement process that brought together residents\, corpor
 ate and small business leaders\, institutional partners\, and visitor pers
 pectives. The effort reframed the project around current data\, best pract
 ices and community priorities\, and united diverse stakeholders\, leverage
 d catalytic public funding for maximum economic and placemaking impact and
  established a replicable framework for community-led infrastructure plann
 ing. “The Pinnacle Award is a tremendous honor for the Downtown Detroit 
 Partnership and our partners which affirms the depth of our efforts to ens
 ure a community-driven process that respects Detroit’s past while shapin
 g its future. The I-375 Peer Review demonstrates what is possible when we 
 listen to the community and work together toward a shared vision. We thank
  the International Downtown Association for recognizing this work and the 
 many partners who contributed their expertise and perspectives to this imp
 ortant process\,” said Eric B. Larson\, CEO of the Downtown Detroit Part
