Urban ABQ

Create a healthy, equitable, thriving, safe, urban through idea sharing & quality design

The purpose of this page is to promote and inform about local urban development in the Albuquerque metro area. Through the posting of information about strategies from other cities, new local business openings and public meetings, we hope to inspire change and action. We collectively share ideas about how to quickly, cheaply and easily improve our city. Our projects include the Lowes Grocery Store renovation, the Railyards Market, ABQ CiQlovia, parquitos and more.
