Green Cities 2021: New York City

To connect global thought leaders, architects, urban designers and activists, the Consortium for Sustainable Urbanism has initiated a monthly lecture series on Green Cities, which will take place on the first Thursday of each month starting at 12:00pm EST.

As New York City’s Chief Climate Policy Advisor and One NYC Director, Daniel Zarrilli is preparing America’s largest city for the future and delivering on New York City’s Green New Deal. Under Daniel’s leadership, New York City recently released its newest long-term strategic plan, OneNYC 2050, which includes bold new actions to confront our climate crisis, achieve equity and strengthen our democracy, demonstrating what a Green New Deal looks like in action. Since 2013, he has positioned New York City as the global leader in the fight against climate change.

CSU is a New York base, not-for-profit organization formed to promote a better understanding of the role of sustainable urbanization and resilient design in the planning of our cites. Our purpose is to advocate for responsible and enlightened planning and design. The focus of the CSU is on replicable ideas and concepts, best practices, and speculative proposals.
