For immediate release

From October 1 through October 10, Gallery 61 at the New York Institute of Technology will be hosting the exhibition ‘Worlds of Cityvision’, featuring work of the innovative urban design laboratory Cityvision, founded in Rome in 2010 with a New York location opened in 2013. Following its successful opening at the WUHO Gallery in Hollywood, this exhibition will display the exciting results of five international urban design competitions hosted by Cityvision, with projects submitted by the world’s leading designers and architects. Focused on the cities of Rome, Venice, Rio de Janiero, New York, and Beijing, these projects explore the infinite possibilities within the complex relationship between people and their urban environment.
