Episode Description:
What if the key to revitalizing neighborhoods wasn’t just bricks and budgets—but songs, stories, and shared ownership? In this episode of Mission Driven You, Will sits down with Mitchell Cohen, CEO of The Daniels Corporation and author of Rhythms of Change, to unpack one of the most inspiring urban redevelopment stories in North America: the Regent Park Revitalization Project.
Mitchell shares how Regent Park, once a neighborhood marked by stigma and isolation, was transformed through radical partnership with residents, creative placemaking, and a commitment to equity that went far beyond policy. Drawing from decades of experience in both housing and the arts, Mitchell offers a compelling vision of what it means to be a developer with a conscience—and how the best cities are composed like symphonies, not spreadsheets.
If you're interested in urban renewal, systems change, or how to lead with integrity at scale, this episode is a masterclass in mission-driven transformation.
🏙️ What You’ll Learn:
“You can't fix a neighborhood from the outside in. You build it from the inside out—with the people who live there.”
“The real power is not in the blueprint. It’s in the relationships.”
“If the only voices at the table are planners and architects, you’re going to miss the song of the community.”
“Legacy isn’t what we leave behind. It’s what we build together.”

Mission-driven development isn’t about fixing broken systems from above—it’s about building shared futures from within.
