Coinciding with the Design Trust’s 25th anniversary, Trust by Design: A Campaign for NYC’s Public Space spotlights the importance of public space in New York City, which is especially vulnerable as it adapts to the post-COVID environment, and envisions its future by advancing conversations across sectors.

As the Keynote Conversation for Trust by Design, this discussion brings together leaders from a range of sectors to consider what public space will look like over the next 25 years in America. With a focus on how parks and public commons can function as community tools, participants explore how we can build civic spaces with racial, financial, and social equity as the leading precepts to create a more just society.
