Sustainable Urban Environments major Daniela Benitez (Tandon, '25) curated the Spring 2024 exhibit "The Creation of MetroTech: Economic and social consequences of neighborhood displacement." Daniela's work began as a research project in the Spring 2023 course Methods for Studying the Urban Environments. She was hired as the Poly Archives Student Curator in Fall 2023 and installed her exhibit for the Spring 2023 semester. In addition to a research talk in February 2023, Daniela wrote an exhibit catalog and conducted historical MetroTech walking tours for NYU staff and students. Daniela's walking tour was also accepted as a Jane's Walk for the NYC Municipal Art Society. She led two sold-out tours in May 2024.
