PlaNYC-Air: New York City's 2030 air initiatives
PlaNYC Air
(40 MB pdf, New York City, 2007)
"Despite decades of improvement, New York City still fails to meet Federal air quality standards—and we have no way of measuring the air quality in individual neighborhoods.That’s why we will create a comprehensive program to reduce emissions from a variety of sources within the city, including vehicles, power plants, and buildings. Natural solutions such as planting one million trees will bring us the rest of the way towards cleaner air for all New Yorkers. To track our progress and target our solutions to the areas of greatest need, we will launch the largest local air quality study in the United States.Together, these initiatives will enable every New Yorker to breathe the cleanest air of any big city in America" (Mayor Michael Bloomberg, 2006)
