IDEAS

In pursuing our mandate of inner-city redevelopment and urban renewal, we are incorporating, wherever possible, high standards of sustainability with due consideration for the long-term environmental, social and economic well-being of our fellow citizens and our planet.

With a leadership-backed commitment to accountability and transparency regarding climate change and environmental sustainability, we’re actively growing our organizational knowledge about sustainable building practices and technologies, promoting opportunities to reduce carbon emissions, and bringing sustainable thinking to the fore in our procurement practices and industry relationships.

Ensuring inclusivity and accessibility is not an option; it's our responsibility. We prioritize universal access, incorporating innovative technologies and thoughtful solutions to accommodate diverse needs. Through a steadfast commitment to accessible design and construction in all our placemaking and city-building initiatives, we eliminate barriers and enable equal access for everyone.

With earnest commitments to advocacy and education both within and beyond our organization, we seek to lead by example in designing and delivering universally accessible spaces and to facilitate adoption of best-in-class practices and technologies that support the highest ideals of accessibility.

Our leadership-driven approach to diversity, equity and inclusion ensures that CMLC—as both a workplace and a city-building organization—applies a DE&I lens to everything we do, from staff development to community programming to connecting with the city’s underserved populations. We apply this lens equally to our procurement and hiring practices.

We value and celebrate the unique perspectives and backgrounds of our team members, partners and stakeholders. In all we do, we seek to deepen our understanding of the vast diversity of human experiences, abilities and viewpoints. We will remain open and give equal voice to all people, groups and viewpoints while upholding our dedication to the betterment of our city.
