As a partner on the Hester Street team to develop CreateNYC, New York City’s comprehensive cultural plan, NOCD-NY drew on our network of networks to help organize the robust community engagement that resulted in 188,000 people from all five boroughs participating in the planning processes. We hosted many neighborhood workshops and organized eight focus groups on important topics in the field.
