The world needs more scholars and practitioners not on ly educated to prosper in their own careers but also prepared to fulfill s ocial and civic obligations through the genius of design.1

Faced with the challenge of an increasingly complex ec onomic\, environmental\, and political reality\, how might educating civic -minded architects help inspire and guide the profession? How do architect ure schools foster a culture of collaboration with community and city lead ers? How can design research inform the evolving role that civic-minded ar chitects can play? Beyond the design studio\, what role should the teachin g of history\, theory\, professional practice\, policy\, technology\, and other disciplines play in educating civic architects? \;

Does it make any difference when architects gain political power? It is interesti ng to contemplate how Jaime Lerner\, an architect turned mayor and then go vernor of Parana in Brazil\, gained international attention by attempting to make Curitiba a sustainability showcase. \; Or how Luiz Paulo Conde \, an architect and educator who became mayor of Rio de Janeiro\, started an innovative program to carve public spaces out of crowded favelas. Or th e remarkable trajectory of Fernando Belaunde Terry\, an American-educated architect who was twice elected President of Peru\, created PREVI (Pro yecto Experimental de Vivienda) and invited some of the world&rsquo\; s best architects to rethink social housing in Lima.

North America h as had its share of impactful architect-mayors like Joseph P. Riley Jr. (C harleston\, South Carolina) who founded the Mayors&rsquo\; Institute on Ci ty Design\, Harvey Gantt (Charlotte\, North Carolina) who chaired the Nati onal Capital Planning Commission in DC\, and Maurice Cox (Charlottesville\ , Virginia) who went on to become city planner in Chicago and Detroit.&nbs p\; In Italy\, distinguished art historian and preservationist Giulio Carl o Argan was elected the first Communist mayor of Rome\, and Massimo Caccia ri\, professor of aesthetics at the Architecture Institute of Venice\, ser ved as mayor of Venice.

But running for office is not the only way t o make a difference. \; In addition to designing some of the most cele brated public projects in the world\, Richard Rogers championed sustainabl e urbanism as advisor to mayors and prime ministers\; and Johanna Hurme of 5468796 Architecture&mdash\;a firm whose work has consistently engaged ci vic issues&mdash\;chaired Winnipeg&rsquo\;s Chamber of Commerce.

And after half a century\, this is also a good time to reflect on how post-mo dernism led to increased attention on contextual design\, vernacular archi tecture\, and perhaps more significantly a reinvigorated interest in urban design&mdash\;not simply as a larger scale of work\, but as a design atti tude for every project. \;

We are seeking contributions that exp lore the full range of expressions of civic architecture and community des ign&mdash\;past\, present\, and future. As well as research and exemplary projects by architects\, landscape architects\, urbanists\, and students w ho have explored these questions. Contributions documenting educational ef forts are most welcome.

Submissions will be accepted for the JAE&rsq uo\;s existing manuscript categories: Essay\, Design\, Narrative\, Image.& nbsp\;The submission deadline for all manuscripts for this theme i ssue is 1 August 2025. \; \;Accepted articles will be pub lished in issue 79:2 (Winter 2025).
