Chicago is famous for its architecture. In this episode of Built for Impact, we go beyond the skyline—and the iconic Chicago Architecture Center River Cruise—to explore how design can make cities work better for the people who call them home. From giving residents a voice in neighborhood development, to tackling challenges around education, downtowns, stadiums, and housing, the CAC is using Chicago’s architectural legacy as a launchpad for what comes next.
Built for Impact features thought leaders from higher education, hospitality, K–12 education, healthcare, and professional and collegiate sports venues, offering insights into how organizations can deliver long-term value. The podcast examines how organizations are adapting to changing community needs, evolving expectations, and new demands placed on physical assets.
Each episode highlights innovative strategies and real-world perspectives from leaders working to create impactful, resilient, and future-focused organizations.
