“The rebirth NYCHA needs now”

On September 17, The Daily News published an op-ed, “The rebirth NYCHA needs now,” written by Rebecca Karp, CEO of an urban planning consultancy Karp Strategies and Nicholas Bloom, professor of Urban Policy and Planning at Hunter College.

“[NYCHA’s Connected Communities] Guidebook offers a new set of equity-focused, community-driven guidelines for improving the living experience of NYCHA residents — among whom are many of the essential workers who have carried our city through the COVID crisis — with well-designed open spaces, modern playgrounds, deeper integration with surrounding neighborhoods, new community facilities, and sensitive redevelopment that can provide more housing at a time when homelessness in NYC is at an all-time high.”
