PlaNYC Albany Advocacy Day

8:48 PM EDT on June 7, 2007

As the first government-issued urban sustainability plan in the United States, PlaNYC is a blueprint to improve transportation, housing, open space, water and air quality and traffic congestion. Perhaps most of all, PlaNYC aims to reduce our energy consumption and limit our impact on climate change.

As momentum is building for PlaNYC and the State legislative session is nearing an end, we invite you to take action and get involved. Join the Campaign for New York's Future as we take our message to Albany! Meet with your elected officials to let them know you support a greener, greater New York.

Since then, he has worked for nonprofit organizations devoted to New York City economic development. He lives and works in the Financial District, and sees New York's pre-automobile built form as an asset that makes New York unique in the United States, and as a strategic advantage that should be capitalized upon.
