The NYU Urban Lab is continuing our public research and convening around sustainable infrastructure with a Fall 2022 speaker series on a “Green New Deal for the FDR”, which solicits ideas on how the east side of Manhattan can be reimagined to support inclusive outcomes for all including affordable housing, sustainable green jobs, public/private partnerships, ESG, and climate justice. Our agenda for Fall 2022 is to host multiple panels with experts to bring awareness, create space to share knowledge, and start meaningful conversations toward shaping a more sustainable and equitable future for NYC.
