Episode notes
Midtown South is one of New York City’s most transit-rich and centrally located neighborhoods, yet few people call it home. That’s because outdated zoning laws – some dating back more than half a century – have long prohibited new housing in the area.
In this episode we talk with Edith Hsu-Chen, Executive Director of the New York City Department of City Planning, to discuss the Midtown South Mixed-Use Plan (MSMX) – a proposal to transform 42 blocks of Midtown South into a vibrant, 24/7 neighborhood where people can live, work, and thrive.
