Urbanism Summit Miami 2018

Second annual Urbanism Summit took place on February 15, 2018 in Miami Downtown at the historical Securities building currently hosting WeWork Miami. The summit was founded by Andrew Quarrie with the goal to share actionable ideas across disciplines in new urbanism and spark a movement of collaboration among investors, startups, policy makers and community.

Miami Girls Foundation’s Founder and Creative Director Ekaterina Juskowski took part in the panel discussion “Cultured” exploring the anthropological dynamics of thriving or failing cities. Moderated by Leigh-Ann Buchanan the panel examined the “out of many one people” cultural factors driving decisions in urbanization.
