THIS is what Urban Planning looks like 👇. Last week, our Community Health team was in action! We connected with local communities in Chinatown and the Bronx to gather meaningful feedback for upcoming projects at Kimlau Square and the Harlem River Greenway. Listening to and collaborating with community members is key to shaping bold, thoughtful strategies that reflect the neighborhood’s needs and will stand the test of time. We look forward to many more events in the coming weeks! These engagements wouldn’t be possible without our partners for these events: Marvel , Bronx Alehouse, and The Bronx Brewery #UrbanPlanning #CommunityHealth #Chinatown #Bronx
