Open Space Dialogues: From Vacant to Vibrant
New York City is a metropolis that excels in reinvention, and that’s true for land as well. New Yorkers want – and deserve – local open spaces, and creative solutions exist to make vibrancy out of vacancy. This installment of the Open Space Dialogues explores the ways New Yorkers have, and want to, create nontraditional open spaces in unusual places, from a single lot or tunnel to entire neighborhoods and whole islands. Panelists will present and respond to examples from New York City’s past, present, and future of creative open space creation.
- How have New Yorkers created nontraditional open spaces throughout history?
- How do we pay for and maintain nontraditional open spaces?
- What are future ideas for nontraditional open spaces in New York City?

Open Space Dialogues: From New Perspectives to Action
WHEN: Tuesday, April 10, 2018 12:00 am
Sponsors:Join us Tuesday, April 10, 2018, for Open Space Dialogues: From New Perspectives to Action, an evening of provocative presentations and discussion created by New Yorkers for Parks and WXY architecture + urban design. Following events focused on open space value, design, development, policy, and financing, we have a panel of leading parks practitioners, decision-makers, activists, and stakeholders. Our panelists will reflect on the interrelated themes of the series and turn their focus to open space and rezonings. By sharing recent work and expertise, or focusing on our case study, Southern Boulevard, they will answer questions regarding some of the most pressing issues facing our city’s open spaces:
- How have neighborhood-scale rezonings treated open spaces?
- What tools have stakeholders used to create and communicate open space priorities?
- For future rezonings, what opportunities and challeges do city agencies and local stakeholders face in prioritizing parks and open spaces as critical infrastructure?
- What research or tools can help bolster the role of parks and open spaces in these conversations?
Adam Lubinsky of WXY architecture + urban design will moderate the evening’s discussions, with introductions by Lynn Kelly of New Yorkers for Parks

City Planner Book Club Meetup: November 2017 Hoboken
WHEN: Tuesday, November 28, 2017 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Sponsors:Free event
Our planning careers are pivoted on building communities, both physically and socially. But what about building literary communities?
The premise of the CPBC is simple. Books are announced in advance so you can choose which books you want to read and which meetups you want to attend. In the weeks leading up to each meetup, CPBC members are encouraged to post thoughts and observations about the book in an online forum to give us conversation starters for when we all meet up. Meetups are held in various locations throughout New Jersey and New York. Members come to as many meetups each year as they want.
Our current selection is City Rules by Emily Talen.
