Mayor Bloomberg’s PlaNYC
A comprehensive sustainability plan to create a greener, greater New York, PlaNYC is a roadmap to achieve 10 goals:
Create enough housing for our growing population
Ensure all New Yorkers have parks within a 10‐minute walk
Clean up all contaminated land in New York City
Develop water network back‐up systems
Improve travel times by adding transit capacity for millions
Achieve “State of Good Repair” on our transportation system
Upgrade our energy infrastructure to provide clean energy
Achieve the cleanest air of any big city in America
Reduce global warming emissions by 30%
