Join us for a walking tour of the SoHo and NoHo neighborhoods led by Sylvia Xiaomeng Li, senior planner at the NYC Department of City Planning. 

SoHo/NoHo Neighborhood Plan, adopted in December 2021, was one of de Blasio administration’s major initiatives and the first overhaul of the area’s outdated manufacturing zoning in half a century. 

The equity-focused plan advances the city’s affordable and fair housing goals, supports economic recovery and long-term resiliency, and affirms the idea that all neighborhoods, including historic districts, can and should play a part in solving planning challenges we, as New Yorkers, share.

The Tour will start at Duarte Square (by A/C/E or 1 Canal Street Station), meander through SoHo and NoHo neighborhoods along various corridors and side streets, and end with a happy hour (location TBD).

 Topics the tour will cover:

– History of SoHo and NoHo neighborhoods & historic preservation

– Planning challenges

– Neighborhood plan process and community engagement

– Planning strategies and adopted plan

– Q&A along the way

Meeting point: Duarte Square (by A/C/E or 1 Canal Street Station)

Tickets: $10 for members and $25 for non-members
