The Museum of the City of New York recently opened Making Room: New Models for Housing New Yorkers, organized in conjunction with Citizens Housing & Planning Council (CHPC). The exhibition offers insights into how New York City’s changing social, economic and cultural lives are re-shaping urban households, and how design can help re-shape the city’s housing stock for New Yorkers in all phases of their lives…
“This exhibition will give the public a chance to see how our talented designers believe housing can be reshaped to better meet the needs of our 21st century New York City,” said Jerilyn Perine, CHPC executive director. “Seeing what is being built in cities around the world, and understanding how our rules have held back housing change, will help educate visitors and spur an important discussion of what our future housing should look like and how we can get there.”
