Affordability as Infrastructure

February 13, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Free

New York is a city of renters; most residents rent their homes, small business owners lease their storefronts, and artists share and sublet studio spaces. Affordable lease terms lay the groundwork for the cultural vibrancy of city life, yet skyrocketing property values, excessive rent hikes and deteriorating building stock are eroding this essential infrastructure.

Is it possible to balance growth without displacement? Join Scott AndersonBetsy MacLeanSam MarksGregory Schiefelbein, and Barika Williams to debate how to maintain and expand affordable housing in New York City.

 

The Urban Design Forum promotes conversation between invited civic leaders, designers, developers and advocates. Forum Fellows are welcome to invite one additional guest to attend. Tickets to this event are non-transferable.
