NYC: Reborn Virtual Summit
The Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent economic crisis have sent New York City into a recession, put millions out of work, and crippled public services, inviting questions about the city’s future. But Gotham will bounce back—and the Manhattan Institute (MI), via its New York City: Reborn initiative, is here to help spark its renaissance.
MI hosted a week-long virtual summit to discuss key issues—including public transit, housing, the city budget, infrastructure, education, public safety, and small-business competitiveness. The summit convened business, civic, and academic leaders from around the city with MI scholars to discuss a post-pandemic New York, with a thriving economy, healthy finances, accessible housing, effective infrastructure, flourishing education, safe streets, and increasing competitiveness.
