The Subcommittee on Zoning and Franchises voted yes on #CityOfYes for Housing Opportunity today. That's great news, and there's still much to be done. #CityOfYes is one tool in our toolbox "and we will need to do more to address our affordable housing needs to help all New Yorkers find safe, affordable and quality housing." RPA joins our partners in urging New York City Council to vote YES on #CityOfYes for Housing Opportunity in December! Full statement from RPA: https://lnkd.in/gg7CFVQD

For over 100 years, RPA has developed and promoted ideas to improve quality of life in the NY-NJ-CT metropolitan region.
关于我们
Regional Plan Association is an independent, non-profit civic organization that develops and promotes ideas to improve the economic health, environmental resiliency, and quality of life of the New York metropolitan area. We conduct research on transportation, land use, housing, good governance, and the environment, and advise cities, communities, and public agencies. Some of the region’s most significant public works, economic development and open space projects have their roots in RPA ideas and initiatives, from the location of the George Washington Bridge to the revitalization of downtown Brooklyn, Stamford, and Newark to the preservation of open space and development of parks in the Palisades, Governors Island and Gateway National Recreation Area. RPA has pursued these goals by conducting independent research, planning, advocacy and vigorous public-engagement efforts. Every year, leaders and professionals from government, business, and civic groups debate the region’s most pressing challenges at RPA’s spring conference, the Assembly. A cornerstone of our work is the development of long-range plans and policies to guide the region’s growth. Since the 1920s, RPA has produced four landmark plans for the region. The most recent was released in November 2017.

#CityOfYes isn't just about housing — it's about jobs, wages, and access to opportunity, too. RPA research earlier this year found that the jobs and earning generated by #CityOfYes for Housing Opportunity would be four times greater than that of the Hudson Tunnel project, one of the largest infrastructure projects in our region.

Better train service in New York City means more foot and rail traffic for local businesses. It also means more opportunity for economic growth. #CongestionPricing makes that all possible. "The only way we can continue to grow the region and the city's economy, add more jobs, is by going it more efficiently," Tom Wright told CBS News.
