Season 5, Episode 2: NYC Open Streets And Public Space

Media and Social Change Podcast

NYC Open Streets And Public Space: Streets are often seen as a place of transit, exclusively for the person on the move, but streets also have a history as spaces for community, as public spaces where people come together rather than just pass by one another. This podcast episode shares a brief history of the New York City Open Streets program and how it has shaped public space in New York City since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
