During a recent visit to New York, Research Associate Ezra Rawitsch met with leaders from the Regional Plan Association, NYCEDC, the Department of City Planning, the MTA and others. Discussions focused on New York’s emerging economic strategy, industrial policy and urban agenda, building on over a decade of our advisory work in the region, including support for the Fourth Regional Plan and earlier London–New York collaboration after the financial crisis.
