Our 2026 Albuquerque series will take place monthly from March through June.

Childcare and interpretation will be provided. When reserving your ticket, please indicate if you need childcare or interpretation. This is a free, ticketed event that we anticipate will sell out, so we encourage you to get your ticket today!

Join us for an engaging evening with urban designer, editor, and author Julie Campoli, who will explore how the design of neighborhoods shapes how they are experienced—and why some places thrive while others fall short.

Through compelling visual examples from across the country, Campoli will reveal why places with similar levels of development can feel either vibrant and welcoming or disconnected and underwhelming. She will highlight the essential elements that make compact neighborhoods succeed, including walkability, access to daily needs, and human-scaled design.

This talk will offer fresh insight into how Albuquerque can grow more intentionally— supporting attainable housing, responding to its environment, and creating stronger connections between people, places, and everyday life.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear practical ideas for shaping neighborhoods that are livable, resilient, and distinctly Albuquerque.

Acompáñanos para una tarde dinámica con la diseñadora urbana, editora, y autora Julie Campoli, quien explorará cómo el diseño de los vecindarios influye en la manera en que se experimentan—y por qué algunos lugares prosperan mientras otros no logran alcanzar su potencial.

A través de ejemplos visuales de distintas ciudades del país, Campoli mostrará por qué lugares con niveles de desarrollo similares pueden sentirse vibrantes y acogedores o, por el contrario, desconectados y poco atractivos. Destacará los elementos esenciales que hacen que los vecindarios compactos funcionen bien, como la caminabilidad, el acceso a necesidades diarias y un diseño a escala humana.

Esta plática ofrecerá nuevas perspectivas sobre cómo Albuquerque puede crecer de manera más intencional—apoyando la vivienda accesible, respondiendo a su entorno y fortaleciendo las conexiones entre las personas, los lugares y la vida cotidiana.

No se pierda esta oportunidad de conocer ideas prácticas para dar forma a vecindarios más habitables, resilientes y auténticamente representativos de Albuquerque.
