Pitch InteractiveWhat consequences do our choices about zoning have for the people traveling our streets?
Life and Death in the Built Environment demonstrates the consequences of how we choose to construct our city. Like most American cities, zoning has had a profound effect on the shape of New York, and the lives of it’s citizens. This piece is designed to prompt questions about who is empowered to make these decisions, how these choices effect our perception of a place's character, and who is welcomed or put at risk as a result.
