My work at CUP

My work at the Center for Urban Pedagogy (CUP)

(Much of this work has disappeard from the CUP website since it was redesigned. Hence the links to the Internet Archive. Support Internet Archive’s work!)

Books:

These are illustrated guidebooks that break down complex land-use issues affecting community members. I co-wrote, edited, and produced these books of around 150 pages each.

What Is Zoning?
- Shows how zoning shapes neighborhoods, blocks, and buildings in NYC.
What Is ULURP?
- Explains how NYC’s land-use review process (ULURP) requires input from every level of city government.
What Is Affordable Housing? (NYC edition)
- Lays out how affordable housing programs target different income levels, raising the perennial question: affordable for whom?
What Is Affordable Housing? (Chicago edition)
- Once you understand how affordable housing works in NYC, you might want to check out Chicago as well.

Fold-out Posters:

These projects in CUP’s Making Policy Public (MPP) program cover a wide variety of social justice issues. I wrote, edited, and art-directed these pamphelts that fold out to large posters. (Roughly 2500 words each, plus graphics.)
