n Fall 2004, our breakfast series focused on inclusionary zoning. Our second breakfast featured Amanda Burden, Chair of the Department of City Planning, who spoke about the Department’s Strategic Plan. The plan highlights rezoning initiatives throughout the City, including the Williamsburg/Greenpoint waterfront rezoning that would be subject to Councilmember Yassky’s proposal.

It also includes links to resources—ranging from existing research papers on related topics to listings of REO properties—that we hope will be useful to practitioners, researchers and policymakers involved in neighborhood stabilization projects.
