Video - New York: Department of Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan

In this Streetfilms interview, The Open Planning Project's Executive Director Mark Gorton talks with Department of Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan about how her agency is redefining public space in New York City.

As the two take a walking tour of recently revamped streetscapes designed to encourage car-free movement and foster social activity, including Broadway Boulevard, Gansevoort Plaza, Meat Market Plaza and the Ninth Avenue cycle track, Sadik-Khan explains how she sees the city grid evolving from "utilitarian corridors" into civic amenities.
