Some problems will require new funding and hard choices about what sources to tap. Others will force us to re-examine our public institutions and whether they can deliver the improvements we need to compete in the 21st century. And still others will demand that we embrace technolo- gies that bring great promise, but also the possibility of unintended consequences.

Two years ago, we launched RPA’s Fourth Regional Plan Elliot G. Sander, Chairman to craft a long-term vision for the New York-New Jersey- Connecticut metropolitan region. We knew that there would be some issues that would be much tougher to resolve than others. That’s certainly proven to be the case. For questions such as whether gentrification Thomas K. Wright, President helps or hurts neighborhoods, what support should be extended to corporations to stay in communities, or whether we should retreat from places that are extremely vulnerable to flooding, no easy consensus emerged from our research or the extensive consultations we have had with experts and civic partners around the region.

In 2016, after extensive consultation with the region’s residents, partners and decision makers, RPA and the Committee on the Fourth Regional Plan will recommend a set of policy and project recommendations that help to: 1. Create communities that are dynamic, livable and resil- ient. 2. Expand the region’s economic prosperity in an equi­ table and sustainable way. 3. Reform the financial, institutional and regulatory struc- tures necessary to implement smart planning deci- sions.
