Nobody knows recovery and resilience better than Dan Doctoroff.
His role in the Bloomberg administration – and later as CEO of Bloomberg LP – set a standard in responding to catastrophic change. Post 9/11, Doctoroff’s contributions as Deputy Mayor for Economic Development and Rebuilding are clearly visible in today’s vibrant downtown Manhattan. In that role and others, he’s made an immeasurable mark on New York’s urban landscape. And for the industry, he helped carve the path to a safer, smarter environment for investment and development, opening the door for some of the city’s most ambitious projects ever.
All this has set the stage for Dan’s most recent fight: with his own ALS diagnosis and the research innovation that his organization, Target ALS, works on everyday.
Join TRD and Dan Doctoroff for a conversation about his new book, ‘The Urbanist’, his role in NY’s most storied recovery, and what kind of resilience we should all strive towards for NY’s future.
The Salon Series is sponsored by our friends at Bosch, Thermador, and Gaggenau.
