Construction for a Livable City is the New York Building Foundation’s new initiative to minimize the impact of construction on people who live and work in New York City, and to improve community/industry relations.  Participation in Construction for a Livable City (CLC) offers an opportunity to promote your firm’s commitment to improved worksites and establishes a mechanism to contribute to evolving guidelines for quality construction site management. 

Specifically, CLC seeks to:

• Send a clear message to the public that the building industry is taking the initiative to be a good neighbor.
• Enhance the building industry’s efforts to make worksites in New York City cleaner, safer and more attractive.
• Offer a marketing opportunity for construction firms or their sponsors who want to associate with the CLC brand.
• Enlist the widest possible participation of New York City construction sites and improve as many of these worksites as possible.

Participants in CLC agree to implement a checklist of construction site management practices that address four specific areas:

• Operations
• Environmental Impact
• Image and Design
• Community Relations

For more information and details about CLC, please read our program overview and the New York Building Foundation's original CLC report, investigating the challenges of construction site management and highlighting examples of best practices.
