City Built Sessions: Juan Mullerat, Founding Principal of Plusurbia Design
Sep 14, 2026
On this episode of City Built Sessions, hosted by Irvans Augustin, we welcome Juan Mullerat, founding principal of Plusurbia Design and a University of Miami educator, for an engaging conversation on how cities are shaped, how neighborhoods evolve, and who decides what gets built. Drawing on more
than 25 years of work around the world, Juan reflects on his roots in Barcelona and the projects that have helped define Miami’s public realm.
I don’t think it is the success that kills it. It’s the change in identity that does.
We need to not have buildings that are placed in cities, but buildings that build cities.
Once you put the right type of vegetation, nature finds its way back to those places that you recuperate.
In this episode, we discuss:
– What Barcelona taught Juan about how cities work for people
– The revitalization of Wynwood and preserving neighborhood identity
– Balancing culture, housing, and reinvestment in Little Havana
– The Shoreline concept reimagining the Rickenbacker Causeway
– What makes a good developer and buildings that build cities
– Juan’s books on urban ideas and engaging kids in city building
Don’t miss this insightful conversation and stay tuned for future episodes exploring the people, business, culture, and ideas that shape our cities.
