New Tour Celebrates the 200th Anniversary of 5th Ave in NYC
Travel back to Fifth Ave's opening day, November 1, 1824, and learn about the birth of the Gilded Age!
New York City is in the midst of an affordability crisis which poses an existential threat to the city’s characteristic vitality and diversity. Even during a time of rapid development in the affordable housing sector, many New Yorkers are being priced out the city and many more are struggling to pay the rent. Hear five distinct proposals on how to deal with New York City’s housing crisis from thought-leaders and activists trying to reframe our current approach to housing at the Museum of the City of New York’s Alternate Visions: Bold Proposals for Housing New Yorkers. A discussion moderated by The Atlantic’s CityLab journalist Kriston Capps will follow the presentation. If you are an Untapped Cities Insider, you can attend this event for free! Not an Insider yet?
