Ya-Ting Liu outlines the three key areas that define the city's public space work: hardware, software, and orgware.
- Hardware: Expanding the public space footprint across 5 boroughs, especially in underserved communities.
- Software: Cutting red tape for partners to help maintain, activate, and program these spaces.
- Orgware: Coordination and planning with agencies to deliver policies and capital projects on time and on budget.

Three key areas that define our public space work.
0:22:05
I summarize as hardware, software, and orgware.
0:22:08
So hardware is expanding the public space footprint that we have across 5 boroughs, especially in underserved communities with the least access to vibrant public spaces.
0:22:18
Software is cutting red tape for partners.
0:22:21
Because city government alone can't help maintain, activate, and program these spaces.
0:22:26
We really need partners from community groups to bids, but guess what?
0:22:31
Government, we don't always make it easy for that partnership.
0:22:34
So we've been really focused on cutting that red tape.
0:22:37
And an org where, which is all of the coordination and planning with agencies to make sure that we are delivering these policies and big capital projects on time, on budget.
