Thank you to everyone who joined us for AIANY Emerging New York Architects Committee session on the City of Yes zoning amendment!

Frank Ruchala Jr and Christopher Hayner from NYC Department of City Planning delivered an exceptional presentation, breaking down how this historic amendment creates pathways for addressing our city's housing crisis through incremental development in every neighborhood.

Key takeaways included:
- Practical applications of the new zoning regulations
- Opportunities for young professionals in the changing landscape
- Strategic approaches to increase housing supply across NYC

For those who couldn't attend, we are sharing photography below from the converstaion. The energy and engagement in the room demonstrated how committed our community is to finding innovative housing solutions!

Special thanks to Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) for hosting this important conversation.
