NYC Public Realm Roundtable - Day 1

The Public Realm Roundtable is a national gathering of government and supporting organizations who build, maintain and enliven public space.

New York City’s Mayor Adams, business districts and the Alliance for Public Space Leadership​ have come together to forge a new position in government, the Director of the Public Realm. This revolutionary new role could become a best practice that the top cities across America should want to pursue.
