New York City has skyscrapers on one block, three- or four-story buildings on another, parks and open spaces here, but not there: How did this happen?
To answer that question and more, Columbia School of Professional Studies and emeritus professors at Columbia invite people to an online lecture with urban planner Ethel Sheffer for a discussion of zoning regulations in New York from the skyscraper and central business districts to the development of lower rise neighborhood communities, to the growth of suburban living and to the impact of the automobile, to the recent supertalls, and to the challenges of increased density.
The online event takes place June 28 beginning at 12:30 p.m. Register for the event at https://bit.ly/3NgxDcD.
