Modes of Practice is a salon series exploring the diverse ways urban design and planning are practiced today. Each salon features local NYC offices engaged in shaping cities across planning, architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, economics, and engineering. The range of firms will share insights, projects, and approaches that define the evolving field. Be on the lookout as we develop the program outreaching to practices and places to meet for the upcoming AIANY Planning and Urban Design Committee monthly meetings. (Check back for updates.)
