HHS Chief Information Officer Clark Minor stated that consolidating the CTO, CDO, and CAIO roles within his office allows the department to move faster on shared platforms and protect systems more effectively.
I recognize that if we do the bread and butter stuff, we do the customer service, the customer delivery, then we get permission to do bigger things. This philosophy guides the commissioner's approach to balancing operational excellence with broader policy ambitions at the Department of Buildings.
The American public volubly aired its opposition to US president Donald Trump's plans to build a $400m, 22,000-sq.-ft ballroom on the site of the demolished East Wing of the White House in an hours-long online meeting of the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) on Thursday (5 March). Led by White House staff secretary Will Scharf, who previously worked as Trump's personal lawyer, the commission is the final procedural hurdle the project needs to clear before construction can begin.
One of the solutions to the housing crisis can be found in our backyards, our attics, or our basements - in an Ancillary Dwelling Unit. By making it easier for New Yorkers to turn their homes into an extra place for a loved one or a little more income, we're allowing our city to grow while keeping the character of the neighborhoods we love.
In the greatest city in the world, we should not accept darkened sidewalks and covered walkways as a fact of life. The mayor's office said crews have already removed or are in the process of dismantling about 2,800 linear feet of sidewalk sheds across multiple Highbridge Gardens buildings, with $14.4 million in state funding covering facade repairs there.
Across towns and city centers, they carry the shifting architectural ambitions of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, from Greek Revival formality to Beaux-Arts monumentality and Art Deco ornament. Architects and federal planners would give these buildings a clear public role and a powerful physical presence. Stone façades, monumental halls, and crafted interiors projected stability, trust, and permanence. The post office placed the federal government directly into the everyday landscape of American life.

UNI-CENTER project renovates Hanyang University's existing Student Union, located along the main pedestrian axis connecting the subway station, the main building, and the welfare center, into a welfare-centered, multi-functional community hub for students. The design goes beyond simple functional enhancementit restores the building's sense of place and redefines it as a central node within the campus circulation network.
The three-storey building features a scalloped brick facade punctuated by slim, semi-circular and rectangular windows. It is entered via a public walkway that sits between the fitness centre and an adjacent school, as the building is tucked into a centre lot. Its upper levels are clad in corrugated metal panels and just peak over the brick volume at the front.
The order names a problem that anyone who has spent time in civic life recognizes. Too often, "community" is defined by the few who repeatedly show up or happen to be in the room. That is not because they care more, but because they have the time, flexibility, and familiarity with civic processes that many New Yorkers do not. When those voices are treated as synonymous with an entire district, our understanding of the public and consensus becomes distorted.
"In the past few months, the real-estate developer turned politician has torn down the East Wing of the White House in order to build a flashy $400m ballroom, added his name to the façade of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (which he announced would for major renovations starting this summer), suggested painting the exterior of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB) all white to "beautify" it, and pushed plans to build near the capital's historic centre."
In this new season, I'm asking how the Trump White House is rewriting the rules of U.S. politics, and talking to Americans whose lives have been changed as a result. Today's episode examines the destruction of the civil service: the removal of professionals, and their replacement with loyalists. I've seen this kind of transformation before, in other failing democracies. Everyone suffers from the degradation of public services.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani's pick to head the city's Law Department was confirmed by the New York City Council after promising to be a lawyer for the entire city, not just the mayor, at his confirmation hearing last week. Steven Banks, who served as the city's homelessness czar at the city's Department of Homeless Services under former Mayor Bill de Blasio, is set to return to City Hall after being confirmed Thursday via a 42-6 City Council vote, with one abstention.
Through the generations, hundreds of thousands of public servants have spent the best years of their lives delivering for New York whether on the beat as a cop, on the job as a firefighter, picking up trash for the Sanitation Department, pruning trees for the Parks Department, assisting seniors at the Department for the Aging, and so on.
The scenery has been upgraded, with laptops and iPads now replacing more cumbersome computer terminals, and the phalanxes of daily tabloid and weekly magazine reporters reduced to a handful, their ranks replaced by staffers from online organs whose pedigrees barely stretch past the de Blasio administration. Still, the big "Pee Here" target, a prop from independent candidate Bo Deitl's protest over de Blasio's downgrading of the penalties for public urination, must have been hanging on the wall in the back corner of the room
