Our second class of Forefront Fellows spent the year talking with global scholars like Doug Saunders, and community organizations like New York Immigration Coalition, Make the Road New York, Asian-Americans for Equality, and Chinese-American Planning Council to explore how urban design can better serve immigrant communities.

We are pleased to publish their original design and policy proposals to empower emerging and historic immigrant neighborhoods in New York City. Congratulations to our Forefront Fellows for their hard work, and we look forward to their input in the Forum for years to come.
