Design Trust Announces RFP on Water Equity

HR&A Advisors was honored to receive the Public Space Leadership Award at the Design Trust for Public Space’s 30th Anniversary Benefit this summer. We’re proud to be recognized alongside other leaders advancing the future of New York City’s public realm.

 

This award reflects HR&A’s support for more than 150 open spaces, parks, and park systems, and our deep commitment to creating vibrant, equitable public spaces. It also highlights the leadership of our Principal, Thomas Jansen, who serves as Vice Chair of the Design Trust’s Board and actively advances its mission.

 

As the Design Trust enters its third decade, it has launched a new RFP, Water: Designing an Equitable Water Future for NYC, calling on New Yorkers to propose bold ideas that will shape the city’s public spaces for the future. We look forward to seeing how this process sparks new approaches to city-making and water. Learn more and apply here.
