Our friends over at the Municipal Art Society got to work with the Affordable Housing Toolkit at Hunter College as part of the Livable Neighborhoods Training Program. The 4th annual event brought nearly 150 New Yorkers together this year to build the skills needed to strengthen neighborhood decision-making and participation.
In addition to affordable housing, participants discussed community organizing and planning for parks and public green space.

The Affordable Housing Toolkit’s “What Is Affordable Housing?” Guidebook has been selected as part of the “AIGA 50 Books/50 Covers” competition – a collection of outstanding book and cover designs for the year 2009! The book was designed by Glen Cummings (of MTWTF) with Aliza Dzik, Josh Hearn, and Dylan Fracaretta, and features the photographs of Anthony Hamboussi. Congratulations, team!
The book will become a part of the AIGA Design Archives, both through an online archive and in print at the Denver Art Museum and Columbia University’s Butler Library. It will also be shown as part of a public exhibition opening in New York in 2010 and touring across the country and China in 2011.
