Day 1, MAS Summit of New York City 2012
Claire Weisz, Founding Partner, WXY Architecture + Urban Design, presents on summit panel, Grand Central Terminal: The Next 100.
In 2013, Grand Central Terminal will celebrate 100 years as a great civic space. Successfully saved by preservation efforts led by MAS decades ago, plans to rezone the district around the terminal now may reshape the city as whole, with broader implications for transit, infrastructure, economic development and the City’s iconic skyline. Planning for and around this New York treasure represents one of the great opportunities—and challenges—to urban planning and design for New York City in this decade. This part of the city has many interests: developers, local businesses, global enterprises, public sector agencies and residents. What do the city’s most creative designers propose? Can we reach a consensus for the future?
