About This Cause
OpenPlans’ mission is to promote a people-first street culture that prioritizes community, active mobility, and connection.To do this sounds like a virtuous and simple thing. But, in reality, to change the streets, sidewalks and other public spaces of New YorkCity into places that enrich everyday life requires grinding, multi-year, incremental progress. It also requires fighting a car-dependent status quo that benefits from a century of city planning, funding and domination. However, there are policies we can enact that will unlock rapid and dynamic changes. As such, our work focuses on the incremental change and the transformative keys to work together towards a vibrant and livable city. We are the organizational home of Open Plans Advocacy, StreetopiaUWS, StreetsblogNYC, StreetsblogUSA, and Streetfilms. Collectively, we take a broad lens on livability to:Build practical solutions, from policy to physical changes, that solve real issues in communities; Empower neighborhoods to envision and create change on their streets;Promote a people-first approach to cities that dismantles car culture; Create a culture of mobility justice and of abundant options, to ensure every city resident has what they need to thrive;Celebrate public spaces and their stewards; Partner with allied organizations on city and state legislative efforts. Underpinning it all is a deep belief that New York City streets can and should be central to leading a healthy, happy, and enriching life for all. We are helping New Yorkers imagine a different city. If we wiped the slate clean, how would we rebuild?
