New York Times Real Estate Reporter Constance Rosenblum Talks Affordable Housing at The Museum of the City of New York on July 30th
New York, N.Y. (PRWEB) July 25, 2013 -- The micro-units on display in Making Room: New Models for Housing New Yorkers, may be works of architectural imagination, but a growing number of New Yorkers are happily creating and inhabiting minuscule spaces that are both highly functional and immensely attractive.
On Tuesday, July 30th, Constance Rosenblum, a reporter for the Real Estate section of The New York Times, former editor of the paper's City section and author of the new book Habitats: Private Lives in the Big City (NYU Press, 2013), leads a discussion with Sturgis Warner and Jonathan Cerullo, longtime theater professionals who occupy such apartments and whose lives and homes are profiled in her book.
The talk at the Museum of the City of New York will focus on the importance of affordable housing as part of the city's quest to attract and retain a vibrant creative class, invigorated by young people from around the nation and around the world. It also will focus on the meaning of home in 21st-century New York City.
The event is co-sponsored by the Citizens Housing & Planning Council and New York University Press, and presented in conjunction with Making Room: New Models for Housing New Yorkers.
