NEW YORK—The conversation about quality of life in New York City has changed over the years. Crime was the salient topic 20 years ago; education took the spotlight 10 years ago. What is the driving issue of today?
Executive Director of Center for an Urban Future Jonathan Bowles asked civic leaders what they see as the major issue of today, as moderator of a City Living panel hosted by City and State newspaper at Baruch College on Thursday.
The three panelists discussed what they see as most imperative to maintain a high quality of life in New York City. They also talked about paying for that maintenance on a tight budget and gave the 2013 mayoral candidates some advice for the future.
