NYC 2025 Continuing Conversations Series
NYU Wagner’s NYC 2025 initiative convenes non-partisan experts across a range of areas to hold an ongoing conversation about issues that must be addressed for the city to become a stronger and more equitable city than it was before COVID-19. To date, 28 policy proposals have been published each containing a series of recommendations for the new Mayor, City Council, and other city leaders to adopt to forge a path forward for New York City. This month, NYC 2025 will hold a series of continuing conversations with authors of these proposals to discuss their application and potential challenges. These talks are tailored for City Hall, City Council, and agency leaders and staffers. NYU Wagner students, alumni, faculty, and staff will be invited to listen in.
