The First 100 Days of Adams and the Future of New York City

When Eric Adams became mayor of New York City, he declared that his first 100 days in office would be about “Getting Stuff Done.” And there’s a lot to do, from tackling the city’s rising crime to bringing jobs back and training the workforce of tomorrow. On April 6th we will take a close look at our city’s challenges—and promise—in the Adams era. Are Mayor Adams’s initial months in office—as well as the 100-plus ideas he rolled out during his campaign—a window into the future of New York City?

This event is a capstone to MI’s New York City: Reborn project, which has advanced new ideas on how to bring the Big Apple back bigger and better than ever. In this conference, we will turn to the voices leading the city’s recovery now and into tomorrow—to hear from them, engage with them, and learn how we might restore New York City in all its promise.

We’re delighted to share the video recording of the evening’s speeches.

New York City: Reborn is a wide-ranging Manhattan Institute project that will encompass research, journalism, and event programming. The institute, through this initiative, convenes business, civic, and academic leaders from around the the city with MI scholars to discuss key issues-including public transit, housing, the city budget, infrastructure, education, public safety, and small-business competitiveness. Participants join issue-specific working groups, led by MI scholars, to develop innovative policy ideas and draft a series of issue briefs, This research will ultimately form a comprehensive agenda for the city’s recovery and a policy blueprint for its future leaders. Post-coronavirus, the Manhattan Institute envisions a growing New York City with a thriving economy, healthy finances, accessible housing, effective infrastructure, flourishing education, safe streets, and increasing competitiveness. New York City: Reborn will help turn that vision into reality.
