Title: Alliance for Public Space Leadership

URL: https://www.publicspace.nyc/

Description: "Currently, multiple agencies are accountable for managing New York City’s public realm ... We need a new way to integrate our thinking on these critical areas. Our public spaces are better when we think about them together. APSL proposed creating a new Office of the Public Realm that would have a role in decision-making around public works projects, maintenance of the public realm, and the design and function of public space. We enthusiastically support the Mayor’s announcement to create this critical position. New York needs this citywide facilitation to foster effective coordination, allowing individual departments and agencies to do their best work to ensure we all have equitable access to space and resources."
