??? NYC is Building for Belonging! At the Wharton-Weitzman Future of Cities Conference, we joined Commissioner Dan Garodnick of the NYC Department of City Planning & Laura Rog of NYC Service to discuss how we’re making NYC more affordable and accessible so that every neighborhood and every borough thrives. From expanding affordable housing to increasing access to healthcare, benefits, and vital resources, we’re working every day to ensure NYC remains one of the best places to live and raise a family. ?? #FutureOfCities #BuildingForBelonging
