Neighborhood activists and preservationists claim that changes in zoning regulations and new construction are destroying the character of New York. Public officials and pro-development forces maintain that in order to compete with other global cities, New York must continue on its current course of development and that there are ways to do this sustainably. Hope Cohen, deputy director of the Center for Rethinking Development in New York City, will moderate a panel discussion with Tom Angotti, director of Hunter College’s Center for Community Planning & Development and author of New York for Sale: Community Planning Confronts Global Real Estate (MIT Press, November 2008); Carlton A. Brown, founding partner and chief operating officer of Full Spectrum; Steven Spinola, president, The Real Estate Board of New York; and Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer.
