Building an Equitable Greenway System: Lessons from the NYC’s Greenways Coalition

The NYC Greenways Coalition is a collective of more than 45 greenway-aligned groups focused on advocating for planning and implementation of a 400-mile citywide greenway network. In December 2022, Brooklyn Greenway Initiative (BGI), which created and convenes the coalition, engaged ULI to provide recommendations for embedding equity in the coalition's cross-sector partnership models to ensure more communities benefit from greenway investment and planning resources. Join this short session to hear about how BGI is establishing and building alignment around an equity-focused vision to advance greenway access throughout New York City's boroughs.
