New York City’s population is changing rapidly, and so is the Earth’s climate. In 2007, New York’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg launched PlaNYC, a 135 point plan that aims by 2030 to accommodate 1 million more New Yorkers and reduce the city’s carbon footprint by thirty percent. The highly technical plan is based on a vision of civic virtue. NYC’s Department of City Planning is developing a new language of design to interpret this sustainable civic virtue.
Current Deputy Chief Designer Jeffrey Shumaker explored recent developments such as the new High Line Park and its surrounding neighbourhood.
