In December
2006, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg challenged New Yorkers to generate
ideas for achieving 10 key goals for the city's sustainable
future. New Yorkers in all five boroughs responded. The result
is the most sweeping plan to enhance New York's urban environment
in the city's modern history. Focusing on the five key dimensions
of the city's environment - land, air, water, energy, and transportation
- we have developed a plan that can become a model for cities
in the 21st century. The combined impact of this plan will not
only help ensure a higher quality of life for generations of
New Yorkers to come; it will also contribute to a 30% reduction
in global warming emissions.
