CANCELLED Mapping Community: Public Investment in NYC Symposium

Instead of the symposium advertised on the Center for Architecture’s printed calender we hope you will join us for our related programming for Mapping Community: Public Investment in NYC:

The Economics of Making a Public Buildingon Tuesday, July 9

Elected Officials on the Built Environmenton Monday, July 29

A Look at Rescue Company 2on Thursday, August 8

How do public buildings like schools, firehouses, and libraries end up in your community, and who had a say in how they got there?

Mapping Community demystifies the complex process of capital planning in New York City by explaining the rules that govern the capital process for our city, the various city agencies that implement projects, and the ways everyday New Yorkers have a say in what types of investment they would like to see in their neighborhoods.

The exhibition will also look at how public projects are accomplished at the local community level by illustrating five types of public infrastructure—housing, transit, parks, schools, and libraries—in five community boards.
