Many New Yorkers are seeking a more coordinated and collaborative approach to land use planning in the city, while others are comfortable with the status quo or feel New York is too complex for a comprehensive plan. There is an important public debate now on how a city of 8.5 million people with varying needs, cultures, and underlying vulnerabilities, can create a shared plan for its future. In December 2020, New York City Council Speaker Corey Johnson released a proposal for a new comprehensive planning framework outlined in Intro 2186 and the accompanying report, Planning Together: A New Comprehensive Planning Framework for New York City. The proposal, still under consideration for a potential vote by the end of 2021, comes at the end of the de Blasio administration and beginning of the Adams administration and could potentially bring significant changes to every level of government.
Join MAS on Tuesday, December 7 at 5:00 PM EST for a third virtual session in the Towards Comprehensive Planning series, which will look to examples in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and New York City to discuss how comprehensive planning intersects with historic preservation. How can a comprehensive plan outline policies and actions for identifying, protecting, enhancing, and promoting a city’s historic and cultural resources? How can preservation goals complement those of climate adaptation, economic growth, and addressing longstanding disparities between people and places? What is New York’s current planning approach for protecting its historic and cultural resources, and how does that compare to examples in other cities? This third session will examine these very questions.
There will be time for audience questions during the program as well. 1CM credit will be available for AICP members (event #9226117).
