On May 29, we hosted a debate on the future of industrial zones in New York City with Andrew Chung, Armando Moritz-Chapelliquen, Toby Moskovits and Toby Sheppard Bloch.
Manufacturing districts were once active hubs for working class communities. But as traditional manufacturing stagnates, industrial business zones are attracting emerging sectors like last-mile logistics and life sciences. To balance the growth of these new businesses with traditional manufacturing, City agencies are reassessing industrial areas, such as the North Brooklyn IBZ.
While the City experiments with new zoning tools, how can we ensure manufacturing space in future mixed-use development? How can zoning better balance emerging sectors within industrial zones? What additional incentives are required to support new manufacturing hubs?
At our roundtable conversation, Andrew Chung, Armando Moritz-Chapelliquen, Toby Moskovits and Toby Sheppard Bloch proposed and debated bold proposals on the future of manufacturing zones in New York City.
