Growing Cities Podcast
Cities worldwide are constantly growing. So should our perception of how they can grow, and more importantly, how they can grow sustainably.
Growing Cities is a fresh new podcast with an informative, international perspective on commercial and residential real estate. Host Viviana M. Addo invites guests from around the world to join her in discussing what it takes to grow cities in a sustainable fashion. Addo, who holds a graduate degree from New York University's Schack Institute of Real Estate, inspires audiences to think big and think smart about the future of real estate across commercial, residential, and mixed-use sectors.
How does commercial real estate interact with local ecosystems? Where is the line between development and gentrification? What does the future of the built environment look like? How has the multifamily and mixed-use real estate segment changed due to COVID-19? Listeners will build an international worldview and a curiosity for architecture, urban planning, environmental consciousness, and the very ground that they are standing on.
To listen to an episode of Growing Cities is to sink your teeth into wisdom from seasoned industry leaders and experts. From architects to city development officials, real estate investors to urban artists, these are the discussions that will shape the future skylines of the ever-expanding urban movement. Growing Cities’ engaging rotation of guests starts off with real estate lawyer Constanza Garcia, politician/counselor Julian Espinoza, and art director/architect Diego Piedrahita. Each has years of expertise in their fields, each sharing their own unique insights and experiences with listeners. Addo, a German-born, Colombian-raised, New York-based real estate veteran, leads her global lineup of guests in conversations-- streaming on Apple Music and Spotify in both English and Spanish-- to understand the present and imagine the future challenges of real estate.
