Milano The New School for Management and Urban Policy present: Community Development and the Mega City - Part Two with a discussion by Rohit Aggarwala, Errol Louis, Maria Mottola, Sheena Wright and Kathryn S. Wylde.
With large-scale developments underway in every borough, the physical face of New York City is already changing on a scale unseen in decades - even as the Bloomberg administration is planning for sustainable growth of nearly a million more residents by 2030. What are the implications for more livable neighborhoods and community renewal? Can City Hall's vision survive beyond the current mayoralty and the latest economic boom?
