Join us to discuss the increasingly urgent need for affordable housing in our expanding urban centers. As more and more people pour into our largest cities, where do we house them, and whose responsibility is it to ensure fair housing opportunities for all?

From tenant to landlord, developer to architect and other roles/specialties… it takes a village to create a productive 21st century urban community. Four NYC experts will lead a conversation about preventing obstacles faced, along with lessons learned from recent successes.

Panelists from different fields will address fundamental questions on housing affordability and inequality by analyzing current trends, policies, environmental and cultural contexts. They will discuss existing tools and programs, their impact and history.

Refreshments are complimentary.
