Juan Mullerat on City Built Sessions: Urban Design Insights

Cutler Bay residents can explore urban development and community planning through a recent episode of 'City Built Sessions.' The program featured Juan Mullerat, founding principal of Plusurbia Design and an educator at the University of Miami. Host Irvans Augustin interviewed Mullerat, who shared over 25 years of global experience shaping cities and neighborhoods. Mullerat discussed the decision-making processes behind urban development, drawing parallels between his Barcelona roots and projects that have influenced Miami's public spaces.

The episode covered lessons from Barcelona on creating people-centric cities, the revitalization of Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood while preserving its identity, and the challenges of balancing culture, housing, and reinvestment in areas like Little Havana. Mullerat also discussed the Shoreline project, which aims to reimagine the Rickenbacker Causeway, and offered his views on what defines a good developer and the creation of positive urban buildings. His books, which focus on urban ideas and engaging young people in city-building, were also highlighted.

'City Built Sessions' explores individuals, businesses, culture, and ideas shaping urban landscapes and continues to feature conversations with experts and community figures.
