The event, held in the Grand Ballroom at the New York Hilton Midtown, included a keynote speech by Marisa Lago, director of the New York City Department of City Planning (DCP) and chair of the City Planning Commission (CPC).
In her remarks, Lago outlined the industry’s economic impact stating, “As-of-right development is the workhorse of housing and space for jobs. Since 2010, over 80% of new housing has been built as of right. Without this development, about 300,000 New Yorkers–an entire Pittsburgh–wouldn’t have the homes they live in today. Without it, we’d produce far less housing, be able to support fewer jobs and New York would also be increasingly unaffordable.”
