Our city and Brooklyn face historically unprecedented and difficult times. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, Brooklyn residents faced disparities in public health, affordable housing, vulnerability to climate change, and were grappling with the effects of generational racism and inequality. The pandemic has both exacerbated these inequities and exposed systemic flaws in how we approach them – specifically, the City’s unwillingness to engage in comprehensive planning.
The Office of the Brooklyn Borough President is undertaking a data-driven comprehensive planning effort for the borough rooted in improving public health outcomes for Brooklynites. Find the draft Existing Conditions report here.
We want to hear from constituents throughout this process. Please provide your feedback on the following goals, objectives, and recommendations for the borough.
