July 10, 2018A Platform for the Future of the City
AIANY has created a policy platform of the most pressing issues facing our city’s built environment. “A Platform for the Future of the City” identifies challenges and proposes solutions including job-creating specific suggestions on affordable housing design, economic development of major projects, strategic suggestions for our waterfront and ideas on how to make our city healthier. Our goal is to assert that design matters and that design excellence can positively transform lives. Using “A Platform for the Future of the City” as a guide, the AIA New York Chapter seeks to engage civic and government leaders, along with the public, in the day-to-day dialogue about making our neighborhoods and institutions a model for the nation and world. Transportation and Infrastructure issues were developed by the committee, and included in this AIANY publication.

Transportation and Infrastructure
The AIANY Transportation and Infrastructure Committee focuses on planning, architectural design, technical, and policy issues related to transportation and infrastructure, including systems and civic facilities to accommodate marine, aviation, and land-based transit, as well as energy, water and waste distribution networks. It is the mission of the committee to examine the architecture of, and to advocate for design quality in, transportation and infrastructure projects. We invite all committee members, and those interested in joining the committee, to join us at our monthly meetings on the 4th Thursday of the month at 6pm on Zoom unless noted. We are always looking for enthusiastic participants interested in contributing to the programs or assisting in other ways!
