New Perspectives on Refining CEQR: A Look Back at Citywide Development

As part of a collaborative effort to examine ways to refine City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR), the Municipal Art Society and Regional Plan Association will present new research into the citywide development of soft sites, including an interactive mapping tool and a companion report under the SITE x SITE initiative. Soft sites are developable sites used in CEQR evaluations to estimate future growth and assess the environmental impacts of major land use decisions, such as neighborhood rezonings and large-scale developments. SITE x SITE shares insights into improving CEQR by providing more dependable information that informs city planners and decision makers who serve our communities.

Join us on Monday, March 27 from 6–8 PM to learn more about SITE x SITE! The event will include a demonstration of the mapping tool and a panel discussion with the SITE x SITE team from MAS, RPA, and Pratt Institute’s Spatial Analysis and Visualization Initiative. Light refreshments will be provided.

The event is $10 for the public and free for MAS and AIANY members. If you are an AIANY member, email info@aiany.org for the discount code. Email events@mas.org with any questions.
