What can the next City Council can do to support a more equitable, better-funded public realm in NYC?
After a pandemic that highlighted the importance of open space to quality of life in our city, we need a policy agenda that prioritizes the public realm – the streets, parks, sidewalks, community spaces we use every day – to support climate resilience and economic recovery while reclaiming space for New Yorkers.
We asked leading candidates for Speaker how they would advance a comprehensive open space plan, building upon pandemic-era innovations including Open Streets and Open Restaurants to reclaim more shared space for New Yorkers.
Katie Honan, political and metro reporter at THE CITY, moderated.
