For the first time CitiesAlive is heading to the Big Apple October 5-8, 2015. New York City is home to thousands of designers, millions of people and boasts numerous Awards of Excellence winning projects.
CitiesAlive delegates will partake in technical sessions that focus on the latest scientific research, design, products, and policies all of which are critical to meeting the challenge of promoting healthy and resilient people and places in New York City. Delegates can tour leading edge projects and research facilities plus see some unique sites such as the High Line, Javits Center, and Brooklyn Grange.
Some tour locations are not available for view by the general public.
