1.0 Idea Generation
What happened during Idea Generation?
In the fall of 2025, New Yorkers were invited to attend 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.

Before launching, the CEC led a robust engagement process to request proposals from community-based organizations and other groups to partner with us to facilitate Idea Generations Workshops across the five boroughs. 79 partners were selected. Get to know our IG partners.
The CEC and our partners facilitated 473 Idea Generation Workshops across the city through which we engaged 9,784 New Yorkers. See all of the community IG workshops hosted across the city.
