New York City is a world renowned center of finance, fashion, and culture. It’s landscape is changing every single day! Whether it’s the Battery Park City or the High Line Park, it’s a great example of urban renewal in the world.<\/p>\n

In June, we are inviting: Jerry Cheng, a Retired Principal City Planner, Department of City Planning City of New York; Patrick Too, a Principal Urban Designer, Department of City Planning City of New York; and Kai Chou, a Project Architect of BL Companies to discuss these ground-breaking urban renewal projects and this “Peach Blossom Spring” in New York City!<\/p>\n

ALL are welcome!
