On May 8, we hosted a transatlantic dialogue on how London and New York should work to ensure quality public housing.
With London witnessing a resurgent public sector with improved capabilities, funding avenues, and delivery mechanisms at hand, it is critical that any new public housing shifts existing negative perceptions. At the same time in New York, the DeBlasio administration is ahead of schedule in its housing plan to build or preserve 200,000 below-market-rate apartments, yet traditional public housing is suffering from decades of financial and political disinvestment.
How should these major cities working to ensure quality is at the heart of newly-built housing? What are they doing to bring old stock up to standard?
The live video seminar, taking place simultaneously in both cities, will begin in promptly at 8:30am in New York, with breakfast from 8:00am.
