Urblandia | NYC | SALONS — Susana Cruz

​Urblandia SALON is a monthly series, in-person forum designed to foster strategic partnerships across the real estate ecosystem. Each salon convenes architects, developers, engineers, interior designers, planners, place makers, and city-builders for curated conversations on the current state of new urbanism and the future of the built environment—wherever real estate shapes people and planet. Select gatherings feature guest speakers and practitioners sharing real-world insights to spark discussion and collaboration.

​Format: short talk or guest perspective, moderated discussion, and peer connection. Lite refreshments and snacks provided.

​​Special thanks to our partner Industrious for facilitating this gathering and many more to come.
