Weisbrod: Affordable Housing is Vital for a Vibrant NYC

Carl Weisbrod, Director of the New York City Department of City Planning, joins Bond Buyer Senior Markets Reporter Chip Barnett to talk about the surge in NYC’s population and corresponding employment growth and why economic growth is dependent upon affordable housing for workers. He discusses initiatives such as mandatory inclusionary housing and zoning for quality and affordability. He also looks at the way the city is connecting people to jobs in live-work neighborhoods. And he gives an update on the Vanderbilt Corridor and Greater East Midtown proposals.
