Community Survey on Affordable Housing Design
My name is Max Gordy
I am part of a capstone research team at the NYU Wagner School of Public Service, working in partnership with the NYC Department of City Planning to study how community input can be better incorporated into the design review process for affordable housing.
With the passage of City of Yes and recent reforms to the City Charter, fewer housing projects will go through ULURP. This means that community boards and community based organizations will need to adapt their strategies for ensuring that new developments meet community needs, so your perspective and input is critical to our work.
