In Brooklyn, New York, Zohran Mamdani, the mayor of New York City, welcomed the mayors of Paris, Amsterdam, and Manchester to showcase new affordable housing and discuss related challenges.
Mamdani’s team organised the visit to a newly built social housing complex, guiding the mayors through apartments and introducing them to residents. The mayors gathered ahead of the Urban 20 summit, a diplomatic event mirroring the G20.
Mamdani highlighted New York City’s 22 billion dollar investment in affordable housing, framing it as a shared issue for cities around the world. He and his guests then toured model apartments still undergoing finishing touches. The event aimed to demonstrate a collaborative approach to addressing housing affordability as part of broader efforts to improve urban wellbeing. The mayors wore bright pink “Mayors Welcome” t-shirts provided by a local moving company.
