Title: Rethinking environmental review
Description: New York City's environmental review process was instituted so that public officials would understand the full environmental implications of a development project and could plan for any necessary changes to municipal infrastructure and services. Over time, the process has evolved to become a hindrance to all developers, especially small-scale ones. The Center for Rethinking Development offers simple and effective suggestions for reform in the report, "Rethinking Environmental Review."
