Tue 2024-02-13 11:01 THE FUTURE OF NYC'S STOREFRONTS Join us for a morning of profound insights from esteemed keynote speakers who will unravel the intricate challenges and triumphs of New York City's storefronts hosted by TD Bank at the iconic One Vanderbilt. Storefronts, which are primarily retail shops and restaurants on the ground floors of buildings, are a vital part of New York City’s streetscapes. They were uniquely threatened during Covid shutdowns because of the innate face-to-face nature of their services. The result: a significant loss of businesses and jobs. However, the recent resurgence of storefronts has helped to drive the city’s recovery. So what is the current state of storefronts and where are we headed? What is the future of New York City’s storefronts? Wednesday, February 28, 2024  8:30 AM (In-person) Contact: One Vanderbilt New York NY 212-473-7875 [email protected]

#Macy's #SanFrancisco and other closings are the end of the 1950s postwar era of #downtown #shopping targeted at mostly middle-class white urban customers. Today, #cities are more #multicultural, #diverse and #global but our #retailers are trying to extend the 1950s business models, despite #Walmart, #Amazon and specialty shops. Retailers and downtowns need to reimagine and reinvent themselves for young people who usually drive city development. FYI, I'm an urban planner. https://lnkd.in/gamSRYC2
