We want to congratulate our VP of Planning, Katanya Raby, on becoming one of the 2026 Chicago Class of Next City Vanguards! 🥳👏🏽

Next City today announces the class of 41 Vanguards who will convene in Chicago from September 22 through 25. This is Next City’s 18th Vanguard conference, an annual experiential gathering of rising urban leaders who work to improve cities across sectors.

The 2026 Vanguard fellows work in sectors including community organizing, urban planning, policy, economic development, and the arts. They hold positions at influential organizations, including the New York City Department of Transportation, Stanford University, and National Community Investment Fund. Vanguards from Chicago are working with Community Desk Chicago, UnidosUS, Cooperation Racine, the Midwest Environmental Justice Network, and other organizations.

It was an honor to be part of the Neighborhood Impact Tour last week!

Leon Walker has demonstrated that transformative, venture-driven development is not only possible in historically disinvested communities—it is essential to their revitalization.

We are proud to be partnering with DL3 Realty on the Morgan Park Commons mixed-use development in the Morgan Park/West Pullman community, one of DL3 Realty's five neighborhood focus areas on Chicago's South Side. It was an honor to showcase this project during the tour.
