New York City has plenty of famous nicknames: The City That Never Sleeps, The Concrete Jungle, The City So Nice They Named It Twice, and so on.
Now, thanks to a ground-breaking zoning code update, New Yorkers may be excited to embrace one of its newest titles: the “City of Yes.”
Earlier in 2023, the New York City Council passed the City of Yes for Carbon Neutrality zoning regulations to promote sustainable initiatives such as creating clean energy and giving residents easier access to chargers for electric vehicles.
These revised zoning laws have allowed over 8,500 acres of parking lots to be covered by solar canopies, which could power more than 130,000 homes when completely built out, as reported by Electrek.
