description Affordable rental housing design and architectural practices have had a limited exposure and relationship in New York. The main design choices for both planners and architects have been to forge links through sustainable design and building formats. The three cases we highlight offer insights into both the varied forms of financial and policy assistance that have been required to create more innovative designs, but to also illustrate the limits and constraints which have prevented architects and planners from playing more eminent roles in creating better housing opportunities, with more innovative designs, for lower income New Yorkers. The limits of case studies are apparent as are the limited financing options to offer hope of better, more progressive legacies in the future.
