Nina Kubota clarifies that while there is collaboration with City Planning on matters like rezoning and updating the housing multiplier, the decision on where to build schools does not involve this partnership.

  • Collaboration exists in areas such as rezonings and the update of housing multipliers with the latest census data.
  • The NYC School Construction Authority collaborates with City Planning for accessing all sources of data.
  • The specific decision on school locations does not involve collaboration with the Department of City Planning.
  • The delineation of responsibilities indicates focused collaboration but separate decision-making processes.

I don't think I mean, certainly, we collaborate with city planning in terms of any kind of rezonings and things like that.
1:54:32
We work with them also on sort of the housing multiplier and updating that with the latest census data.
1:54:40
But in terms and of course we give all sources of data from them as well as other agencies, but specifically where to build and and no in in that context.
