About this event
A symposium on who actually controls New York's power plants, substations and industrial waterfronts, and why the environmental cost has landed so unevenly across the city. Speakers from the NYC Environmental Justice Alliance, the Mayor's Office of Climate and Environmental Justice and The POINT CDC debate public ownership, affordability and democratic governance of energy. Sharp, local and unusually candid.
Why we picked it
A genuinely free evening symposium at a respected architecture institution, on a subject New Yorkers argue about but rarely get to hear specialists debate in one room.
