Upon the release of a new study entitled “Auckland, Connected” by the AECOM Global Cities Institute, Joseph Brown speculated, “By 2040, [Auckland] will have made the changes necessary in its pursuit to become the world’s most liveable city, or it will have let the status quo prevail.” NYC Parks’ principal urban designer Charles McKinney spoke to The Riverdale Press at a public meeting held to discuss the future of Van Cortlandt Park (pictured at left), asserting “It’s easier to listen to people first than to convince them later.” Speaking at a Stockholm event concerned with migrants’ rights, Board Member Saskia Sassen described the privatization of detention-deportation procedure as “cancer when it enters the kinds of domains that have to do with the governing of people.”
