THE POLITICS OF DEVELOPMENT: MOYNIHAN STATION AND THE COMPLEXITY OF MAJOR PUBLIC PROJECTS. Wednesday, November 17, 2010 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Theresa Lang Community & Student Center, Arnhold Hall, 55 West 13th Street (between Fifth and Sixth Avenues), 2nd Floor. The Port Authority Lecture Series is presented by Milano, The New School for Management and Urban Policy, The New School Graduate Program in International Affairs, and Center for New York City Affairs.
Nearly 400,000 people use Penn Station every day, twice the number that came through when it was built. In 1993, the late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan proposed the conversion of the Farley Post Office building into a new Penn Station. Twenty years later, the project is finally ready to break ground despite longstanding support from nearly every stakeholder. What lay behind the delays? Why are delays in the nature of so many major public development projects? Are there lessons here for future planning? What are the prospects for the transformation of Manhattan's far west side?
Admission is free but you must reserve a seat. Please email or call 212.229.5418.

Joe Earle, director of the Japan Society Gallery, will preview the Japan Society’s spring 2011 exhibition, Bye Bye Kitty!!!: Between Heaven and Hell in Contemporary Japanese Art. This exhibition will move beyond semi-ironic narratives of cuteness and powerlessness to find traditional viewpoints melded with perceptions of the present in radically creative, unsettling combinations. Earle will introduce paintings, objects, photographs, installations, and video by the artists included in the show. This event is presented by The Museum at FIT.
