The City of Yes for Housing Opportunity marks a significant shift in New York's approach to zoning, rolling back restrictions that hindered housing supply amid increasing demand.
For decades, New York's housing crisis has been caught in a tug of war between high-rise expansions akin to Hong Kong and the intimate scale traditions of European urbanism.
This new zoning resolution represents hope for resolving housing emergencies by moving away from the traditional model of constructing glass towers and instead promoting varied housing.
After 175 community board meetings, the City Council finally adopted extensive zoning changes, aiming to increase housing supply through more flexible and inclusive regulations.
