Join us on March 27 at the Center for Architecture
As part of a collaborative effort to examine ways to refine City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR), MAS and Regional Plan Association (RPA) will present new research into the citywide development of soft sites, including an interactive mapping tool and a companion report under the SITE x SITE initiative.
Soft sites are developable sites used in CEQR evaluations to estimate future growth and assess the environmental impacts of major land use decisions such as neighborhood rezonings and large-scale developments. SITE x SITE shares insights into improving CEQR by providing more dependable information that informs city planners and decision makers who serve our communities.
Join us on Monday, March 27 from 6-8 PM to learn more about SITE x SITE! The event will include a demonstration of the mapping tool and a panel discussion with the SITE x SITE team from MAS, RPA, and Pratt Institute’s Spatial Analysis and Visualization Initiative. Light refreshments will be provided.

Municipal Arts Society Of New York
The Municipal Art Society of New York (MAS) lifts up the voices of the people in the debates that shape New York’s built environment and leads the way toward a more livable city from sidewalk to skyline. MAS envisions a future in which all New Yorkers share in the richness of city life—where growth is balanced, character endures, and a resilient future is secured. Over more than 125 years of history, our advocacy efforts have led to the creation of the New York City Planning Commission, Public Design Commission, Landmarks Preservation Commission, and the Tribute in Light; the preservation of Grand Central Terminal, the lights of Times Square, and the Garment District; the conservation of more than 50 works of public art; and the founding of such civic organizations as the Public Art Fund, the New York Landmarks Conservancy, P.S. 1, the Historic Districts Council, the Park Avenue Armory Conservancy, and the Waterfront Alliance.
