As New York slowly emerges from the pandemic, there’s one thing to be certain — New York City has changed and is changing. Hybrid and remote work are here to stay, changing how New Yorkers commute and shifting the reliance of long-standing business districts.
As rents continue to spike to new highs, the need for more housing—particularly affordable housing—is at a crescendo. Meanwhile, the city’s housing stock continues to age and isn’t meeting the demands of New Yorkers.
How will New York City meet this moment?
WNYC and Gothamist will host a discussion with Mayor Eric Adams, followed by a panel discussion with local politicians, community leaders and urban planners to explore what the future of housing in the five boroughs looks like—from incremental changes that can happen now to the bold ideas that may forever change our city’s landscape.
Support for WNYC’s housing and homelessness reporting is provided by Trinity Church Wall Street Philanthropies.
