This morning, Real Estate Weekly kicked off its annual Women’s Forum at the Wyndham New Yorker with a one-on-one interview with NYC Department of Urban Planning Executive Director Purnima Kapur, who was appointed to the position in June after spending 25 years as a planner and director of the agency’s Brooklyn and Bronx offices. Purnima (right) joined moderator Lisa Knee, a Partner at EisnerAmper, to talk about her path into urban planning; how the city has transformed since she joined the agency in 1989; her current initiatives; the role she plays in Mayor Bill de Blasio’s aggressive affordable housing plan; and more. Stay tuned for coverage of her Q&A tomorrow.
