Help Send Holiday Cheer to the 2024 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Donor🎄
Neighbors and friends are calling for support in raising Earl Albert's spirits while he recovers!
New York is in the midst of a housing crisis, with the cost of housing increasingly unaffordable. But amidst the ongoing conversations and debates about housing policy, tax incentives, and development, it can be easy to lose track of the lived experience of those who call this city home. Discover what can we learn from those who are struggling to find creative ways to make, or keep, a “home” in the city in the face of rapid urban change at the Museum of the City of New York’s Rooted in Place, Stories of Home in the City event, part of their on-going series Housing Tomorrow’s City. If you are an Untapped Cities Insider, you can attend this event for free! Not an Insider yet?

This important conversation will contextualize and explore what it means to live in the city today from a variety of different perspectives. Dr. Mindy Fullilove, the author of “Root Shock,” takes a look back at New York’s long history of community displacement and its effects; architect Eric Bunge reflects on the trials and tribulations of designing the city’s first micro unit; photographer Annie Ling shares her photographs of the residents of 81 Bowery, where tenants build community in close quarters; and oral historian Zaheer Ali shares the stories we tell about communities in Crown Heights. Moderated by journalist Tanvi Misra of The Atlantic’s CityLab.
