Janette Sadik-Khan, Principal at Bloomberg Associates, former Commissioner of the New York City Department of Transportation, and author of Streetfight: Handbook for an Urban Revolution, shares practical lessons from transforming streets in cities around the world. Drawing on her experience delivering rapid, people-first changes, she will explore how safer walking and biking infrastructure, better transit streets, and more flexible public spaces can improve safety and mobility. The session will outline low-cost pilots and data-driven design as tools to build public support and overcome resistance to change. Sadik-Khan will highlight how Albuquerque can adapt these strategies to its own streets and priorities. Attendees will leave with clear, actionable insights for creating safer and more vibrant streets that better serve people and communities.

Janette Sadik-Khan is one of the world’s foremost authorities on transportation and urban transformation. She served as New York City’s transportation commissioner from 2007 to 2013 under Mayor Michael Bloomberg, overseeing historic changes to the city’s streets—pedestrianizing Broadway in Times Square, building nearly 400 miles of bike lanes, launching Citi Bike, the world's largest bike share system outside of China, and creating seven rapid bus lines and more than 60 plazas citywide. A founding principal with Bloomberg Associates, she works with mayors around the world to reimagine and redesign their cities. She chairs the National Association of Transportation Officials and Global Designing Cities Initiative, implementing new, people-focused street design standards, which have been adopted in more than 150 cities across the United States and around the world.

Acompáñenos a una conversación provocadora con Yoni Appelbaum, editor ejecutivo adjunto de The Atlantic y autor de Stuck: How the Privileged and the Propertied Broke the Engine of American Opportunity. Appelbaum explora cómo mudarse en busca de oportunidades—antes un pilar de la vida estadounidense—se ha vuelto cada vez más inalcanzable para las familias de clase trabajadora. Hoy en día, muchas personas ya no se mudan a donde crecen los empleos, sino a donde la vivienda simplemente es asequible, ya que las políticas de vivienda han convertido los hogares en inversiones escasas. Conversaremos sobre cómo la movilidad, la vivienda y la oportunidad se manifiestan a nivel local en Albuquerque, así como sobre posibles caminos a seguir.
