Most cities would take a few centuries to achieve the milestones that Carmel has in 20 years. Over the past two decades, the city of Carmel, under the leadership of Mayor Jim Brainard, has grown from a rather typical north suburban car-centric city to a world-renowned city known for its infrastructure, development and redevelopment, arts and entertainment, diverse culture and, of course, roundabouts. Each month we publish feature stories about the remarkable people and events that make Carmel such a wonderful place to live and work. In early 2021, Carmel was named one of the “ Tree Cities of the World” by the Arbor Day Foundation. Carmel has become a textbook for the evolution of a small rural midwestern city to one that annually is recognized repeatedly on national lists that recognize the cities that are the most livable, safest and best places to raise a family. Through the years we have had a remarkable seat to the dramatic changes that have occurred to one of the country’s most dynamic cities.
