How do we fix the Accidental Skyline? The Municipal Arts Society of New York proposes a ten-point plan for reform. Click here to get involved and learn more.
With its “Accidental Skyline” report, the Municipal Arts Society has released a host of interactive tools that give updated shadow predictions for supertalls currently under construction, provide maps that show where air rights are up for grabs, and particular corridors where views for local residents could be endangered because of these tall towers.
