Meet the 2024-2025 New City Critics Fellows
New City Critics fellows — architects, journalists, artists, a city planner and a rapper among them — will be training a critical gaze on New York City over the next nine months.
Long Island is Bugging Me
A disquisition into the urban/suburban and human/insect divides, and how people might come together when their surroundings are planned to keep them apart.
How to Map New York City
A lot of art and a little science went into representing fifteen years of Urban Omnibus stories on a map of New York City.
On Island Time
As tides and storms bring big changes to the cityscape, what landmass is most likely to become New York's next island?
State of Play
New York City's only adventure playground is a beloved destination. But it's also a proposition to make room for free play across the city, from street to schoolyard.
A New Harvest
Herbs and berries are free for the picking along the Bronx River Foodway. But the public place for foraging is also a pathway to stronger connections with local ecologies and community self-determination.
Turning the Tide
Where can queer and trans community flourish, if not at Riis Beach? Yet current plans for its future don't account for the people it has sustained for decades.
Landscape Orientation
An artist makes her books by walking. Their pages unfold in ways as unusual and idiosyncratic as the city itself.
