Street Lab collaborating with NYC youth on NYCHA public spaces

Sep 21, 2024

Street Lab is out to support the next generation of designers and placemakers. This fall, we’re working with teens on the Office of Neighborhood Safety’s Youth Leadership Council to help them realize their vision for public spaces at five NYCHA developments across the city. We’ve met in our warehouse, shared ideas, and now we’re lending the teens Street Lab kits and fabricating new gear to support their work. Catch special events led entirely by the teens, starting on Oct 12:

Saturday, October 12th; 1-4pm, Queensbridge Houses
Saturday, October 19th; 1-4pm, Jefferson Houses and West Brighton Houses
Saturday, October 26th; 1-4pm, Morris Houses and Whitman Houses
