Learning from New York: New Urbanism in China

Learning from New York: New Urbanism in China

As cities around the world strive to realize the environmental and economic benefits of density without the sacrifice of community, the success of New York’s pre-war urbanism has much to teach us. Architect Paul L. Whalen, Partner at Robert A.M. Stern Architects, will show how these lessons guide his work both at home and in China’s rapidly growing cities to create responsible, engaging, human-scaled urbanism from sidewalk to skyline.

Paul Whalen has been with Robert A.M. Stern Architects since 1981. During this time, he has focused on community-making at various scales, designing private homes, apartment buildings, country clubs, hotels, and large-scale town and urban planning projects. Whalen graduated from Columbia University in 1978 and received his Master of Architecture from Princeton University in 1981. He is a member of the American Institute of Architects, and is a registered architect in New York and sixteen other states.
