Join us to voice the issues you care about in the next mayoral election.

With the 2025 mayoral election approaching, Urban Design Forum is crafting a forward-looking platform based on ideas from our publications over the last four years. We want your help refining our recommendations and your input on what’s possible in this political moment.

We invite past cohorts, new fellows and friends to help define a bold vision for public space in New York. At this workshop, Urban Design Forum will present a draft policy platform, seek your feedback, and strategize how to shape mayoral candidates’ priorities together.

Guest & Accessibility Policies

Urban Design Forum promotes conversations between invited civic leaders, designers, developers, and advocates. These events are open to Forum Fellows and their guests.

We strive to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals to engage fully.

• The venue is a ground-floor storefront space with a single step at the entrance.
• This event will have microphones and a speaker.
• If you’re not feeling well, please stay home. Face masks are encouraged, particularly if you have been recently exposed to colds, flus, or other illness. If you have been exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 10 days, a high-quality, well-fitting face covering is required at all times.
• Please refrain from wearing strong fragrances to accommodate guests with allergies or environmental sensitivities.
