What does it mean to create spaces that are not only affordable and functional, but also joyful, safe, sustainable, and ours?

Cities are made of bold ideas — skyscrapers, pocket parks, walkable blocks — but home is made of something more personal: safety, stability, belonging, fun, and the hopes of the people who live there. From the apartment we decorate to the block we walk each day, we don’t just live in cities, we help make them.

This panel with New York as our home base, is an open invitation to think about what it really means – and takes – to make a home in a place where housing is expensive, neighborhoods are changing fast, and public space matters more than ever. We’ll explore the full spectrum of the urban experience, from the private (housing, homes, co-living) to the public (streetscapes, gathering places, shared parks). What does it mean to create spaces that are not only affordable and functional, but also joyful, safe, sustainable, and ours? What can we learn from other places, such as collaborative housing projects in Berlin?

With architects, planners, and urban designers in conversation, we’ll ask big questions — and make space for yours. This is not just a panel to listen to, but a space to participate in.

Whether you’re working in design or just trying to find your place in the city, come join the conversation about how we shape the places we live — and how they shape us.
