Calling all NYC Design Professionals! We are looking for specific and constructive feedback from people within the broader NYC design community to gauge public knowledge and input about the PDC's role in the public design review process: https://t.co/uSaMD26EDf

I’m echoing @yating_liu in congratulating all of the public agencies and design teams who received @nycpublicdesign awards this morning! Thanks for constantly striving to push the bar higher for the design of our city’s public spaces!

[Ya-Ting Liu @yating_liu]

We're going the wrong way. New report estimates the number of people killed by cars while walking is the highest since 1981. Supersizing American roads and vehicles has supersized pedestrian deaths ~89% since 2010. This is a 100% preventable crisis. https://t.co/YRb905tDlP

For the first time, we have a full year of serious injury data for NYC.

These are the most serious injuries: Loss of limbs, loss of organs, hospitalizations of 90+ days, and fatalities.

In 2022, there were 2,933 serious injuries total.

We must do more to keep people safe.

This has always been one of my favorite @nycpublicdesign rejects. Serves as proof positive that the Commission’s work is and always has been essential to a “better New York”!

[Open Plans @OpenPlans]

In 1961, NY's zoning code reflected the values of that time: redlining, segregation, suburbanization - cars cars cars. We’ve been planning & building our city under those archaic mandates ever since.

Our values have changed but our zoning has not. It’s time. #LiftParkingMandates

[Michele Bogart @urbaninsideout]

You know how everybody hates the new clunky NYC logo? To draw analogy, in municipal design realm, @nycpublicdesign is body that would have scrutinized that logo top to bottom asked for tweaks, such that in the end, it would have brought pleasure = to Glaser icon. :-)

IRA + 7 months

What’s happened in the US EV supply chain since IRA passed? My students and I are tracking it:

36 major new projects announced
30,000 estimated jobs
$40 billion in announced capital investment 🏗️

Here is what is new since last month. A short 🧵 1/5

[Jenna E. Miller @JEMillerDesign]

“…@nycpublicdesign is the only structural mechanism for social, racial, and environmental equity in the city's capital projects regulatory system. Design isn’t a luxury,” @jgmoore added. “It’s a necessity.”

It’s often said that one has to separate church from state, says the mayor's closest adviser, Ingrid Lewis-Martin, at the New York Public Library today. "We have an administration that doesn’t believe in that...[The mayor] is definitely one of the chosen."

It was an honor to work on this tour and video with @kamauware and his team at @BlackGotham! #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackGotham #CityHall

22 people were killed in NYC traffic crashes this year. It’s only been 52 days. That’s one person ever 2 days and 8.5 hours. WHAT ARE WE DOING.

[Jenna E. Miller @JEMillerDesign]

@kemper_nicolas @nyreviewofarch It was a rough week, and your act of generosity really helped to turn it around. Hope to cross paths again soon!

[Jenna E. Miller @JEMillerDesign]
