Michael Kimmelman is the architecture critic for the New York Times, but his work doesn't just focus on the way buildings look. Kimmelman writes about a wide range of urban issues and about how we build cities, and he sees his role as helping people understand those processes so they can play a part in making their cities better. Kimmelman visited SPUR on June 1, 2015, to talk about some of the issues he's covered for the Times with SPUR Editorial Director Allison Arieff.
