New York is a center of commerce, a hubbub of construction activity, even in difficult economic times, but it’s also home to millions of people. Mindful of residents and the city’s visitors, the New York Building Congress/New York Building Foundation’s “Construction for a Livable City” initiative aims to enhance the industry’s image and improve bystanders’ quality of life by making worksites more attractive and enhancing community relations.
“The industry can do a lot to improve itself,” says Richard Anderson, president of the New York Building Congress. “There is a lot of room to dress up a construction site and make it look better and work better.”
