Planning and consulting firm\u00a0Buro\u00a0Happold\u00a0and urban design nonprofit\u00a0Hester Street will partner with the\u00a0New York City Mayor\u2019s Office of Climate and\u00a0Environmental Justice\u00a0to ensure existing policies, infrastructure, and investments promote environmental equality throughout the city.<\/p>\n

To help achieve this goal, the partnership will launch the Environmental Justice for All report and online data portal. These informational tools will outline and analyze existing practices which contribute to inequities in vulnerability and risk from environmental hazards across the city, as well as help develop a comprehensive plan for the future.<\/p>\n

Buro Happold and Hester Street have also subcontracted HOUSEOFCAKES,\u00a0Creative Urban Alchemy, Lion Advisors for\u00a0Community and Environment, UHope\u00a0Consulting, and Tishman Environment & Design Center at The New School to support their work on this project.
\n\u201cThe Environmental Justice\u00a0for All report and data portal is a critical step in assessing the cumulative\u00a0impacts of environmental hazards on communities of\u00a0color and low-income\u00a0individuals and identifying the City of New York\u2019s contributions to\u00a0environmental justice,\u201d says\u00a0Chris Rhie,\u00a0associate principal at Buro Happold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
