In the coming decade, thousands of new mixed-use affordable housing developments created through Mayor de Blasio’s Housing New York plan will transform the cityscape. With the power of good design, this unprecedented building boom can help foster vibrant, mixed-income neighborhoods and attractive, fully leased commercial corridors.
Laying the Groundwork, developed by the Design Trust for Public Space and its Fellows in partnership with the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development, is a comprehensive set of guidelines for high-quality ground-floor design in mixed-use affordable housing developments. Please join the Design Trust and the AIANY Interiors Committee as we discuss the importance of ground-floor design in this growing sector.
