This solutions-focused forum will zoom in on one of the most buzzworthy topics of 2025, and one of the most critical issues that will impact the city's future competitiveness: what specifically can city policymakers do to keep young families from leaving New York City. While there has been a lot of attention to the challenges that are pushing out families—including high housing and childcare costs—our event aims to go beyond the rhetoric and tee up concrete ideas, strategies, and policies that will make a tangible difference in the lives of young families. This will be the third forum in a series of policy events held by the Center for an Urban Future, Fisher Brothers, and Winston C. Fisher focusing on actionable solutions for keeping New York City competitive in the post-pandemic economy.
