Crossroads Seminar 2026
ASLA-NY partners with Streetlife and Landezine to bring you a NYC installment of this biennial Dutch program.
Urban Microclimates:
Landscape Strategies for Cooler Cities
This Seminar fosters a transatlantic exchange between Dutch and New York–based companies. It highlights shared challenges and complementary approaches to building more sustainable and resilient cities.
This year’s theme focuses on how design can actively shape urban microclimates in response to climate change. The program examines climate adaptation strategies, mitigation of the urban heat island effect, and the expansion of equitable, affordable, and accessible green space. Together, these topics frame practical pathways toward healthier urban environments.
