What happened during Idea Generation?

In the fall of 2023, New Yorkers were invited to attend public and virtual Idea Generation Workshops to:

• Learn how the city budget works

• Talk about what their neighborhoods need

• Share and develop ideas to improve their communities

They also submitted ideas online, here at Participate.nyc.gov.
