the motivation:
New York’s population density of 26400 people per square mile
Manhattan has the highest population density in the country
New York population will be around 9.5 million by 2030
It means just extra residential space is needed to house 1.5 million people
The new housing marketplace plan by mayor office suggests:
Creating 92,000 units of middle class housing
And looking for innovative strategies to maximize land capacity in NY
Therefore it recommends strategies such as:
-Finding new land
-Creating incentives to develop housing
Besides the NYC 2030 plan suggest
-Reclaiming underutilized water fronts
-Exploring additional areas of opportunity such as decking over rail lines and high ways
The plan estimates that 20,000 units of new housing is needed by 2030
