New York City has bounced back from the depths of the pandemic, fully rebounding from the jobs lost since 2020 and emphatically repelling the threat of a “doom loop” scenario. But New York still has work to do to keep pace with a vastly changed post-pandemic landscape and reimagine key facets of the city’s economy at a time when hybrid work, e-commerce, climate change, an affordability crisis, and several other ongoing issues threaten to create long-term economic vulnerabilities.
This forum explored what’s needed to help New York stay ahead of these and other emerging challenges and build a stronger economy. Speakers put forward bold and creative ideas for strengthening the city’s commercial districts, sparking inclusive job growth in artificial intelligence and other emerging high-wage sectors, rethinking the public infrastructure needed to keep New York City competitive, and making the city more livable, sustainable, and affordable. We also sought out ideas from audience members.
Speakers included:
