An Evening with CityNerd June 2024

Ray Delahanty (a.k.a. CityNerd) made a very special trip to Phoenix to talk all things urbanism! Our event at The Royale also featured Councilmember Jenn Duff of Mesa and our own Nicole Rodriguez. Local urbanist Jamie Trufin led a post-event walk in the Melrose neighborhood. Despite the heat, this was one of our best-ever attended events.
