New York City’s Active Design Guidelines

New York City’s Active Design Guidelines

Karen Lee and Joyce Lee (no relation) talk about NYC's Active Design Guidelines, the multi-sector partnerships involved in the guidelines' creation, and how lessons learned can inform other cities interested in developing similar guidelines. The guidelines provide architects and urban designers with a manual of strategies for creating healthier buildings, streets, and urban spaces, based on the latest academic research and best practices in the field.
