Join us to celebrate the release of our recommendations on shaping future streets for climate. Last summer, Hurricane Ida reminded us that New Yorkers are at risk from increasing effects of the climate crisis. Covering over 25% of the city’s land area, streets contribute to rising temperatures and stormwater runoff that disproportionately endanger Black and brown communities. We can transform streets to support biodiversity, reduce heat, and enable carbon-free transportation. Our roundtable discussion will feature bold new proposals from Streets Ahead’s Climate Working Group members Shachi Pandey and Amy Macdonald, and Trust for Public Land’s Carter Strickland. How can streets help New York City confront the climate crisis?
