People Over Parking: An Installation

What are we forfeiting by prioritizing space for cars? Livability nonprofit Open Plans has teamed up with Open House New York Weekend for a fun installation that invites you to imagine new possibilities. With New York City facing converging housing, climate, and livability crises, we operate under hidden, Moses-era rules that force new buildings to include parking. These mandates have dire consequences for affordability and street life — but there’s a movement to eliminate them. Step inside a better future and find out — how can New York’s precious physical space better benefit us all?
