The KPF Managing Principal has been named to the founding advisory board of the Better Bigger Cities Collaborative (BBCC), a forward-thinking urban leadership fellowship born out of NYU’s Schack Institute of Real Estate.
The Better Bigger Cities Collaborative (BBCC) is a pioneering two-semester fellowship dedicated to cultivating the next generation of urban leaders. Forth has been chosen to join the founding advisory board, bringing his longstanding commitment to New York City and history of leadership in some of the most impactful urban advocacy organizations, such as Open House New York, the NLA Cities Forum, and the CTBUH City Advocacy Forum. Forth’s involvement in BBCC reflects his dedication to advancing KPF’s mission of elevating cities through the design pillars of craft, context, and performance—principles that have guided his work both within the firm and across the city’s civic landscape.
The BBCC program unites mid-career professionals from across the built environment for an intensive curriculum that blends strategic foresight, applied design, and cross-sector collaboration. Forth’s participation underscores his belief in the power of interdisciplinary leadership to address the complex challenges facing cities today. Through his advocacy and practice, he continues to champion innovation, equity, and resilience—values at the heart of both KPF and the BBCC.
