Green Space Connections 2022–

Green Space Connections is creating and activating community-designed open space at four NYCHA public housing developments with and for 14,000 residents in Brooklyn and the Bronx.

To amplify the lessons of the project and empower a wider reach of New York public housing residents, Green Space Connections is creating a practical design and resources guide for non-profit organizations and resident leaders to navigate the process of bringing open space projects to their communities.
