With the Mayoral election drawing closer, this panel will explore the progression of PlaNYC:2030, New York Citys sustainability plan, from its inception through today, with a focus on whats next for the Office of Long-Term Planning and Sustainability in the post-Bloomberg era. The discussion will highlight the opportunities and challenges that a changing administration can present for programs that have been championed by Mayor Bloomberg.
