New York University would not exist without New York City. The University’s story is intertwined with the city’s story from the beginning. Its identity and community are inextricably bound to its home in Greenwich Village. Its successes mirror the city’s successes; its struggles, the city’s struggles. To determine what NYU will be in 2031 is first to embrace what New York City must be.
NYU 2031 aims to reflect the University's values in its physical presence. The plan addresses the university's call for more space, outlining a process that values its history, neighborhood, and community. How does it ensure progress and help keep its city livable and its neighborhoods strong?
