A year ago, Bill de Blasio won the NYC mayoral election handily with an impressive campaign touting progressive change. Appealing to a shrinking middle class, his platform promised to address income disparity, universal pre-K, more affordable housing, and build on his predecessor’s environmental programs.

Join a panel of experts, hosted by the Sustainability Practice Network, to discuss these realities and look ahead to year two of Mayor de Blasio’s administration.
