Infographic of the Day: New York City's Design Future

New York is the place to be for design and architecture.

In his "State of the City" speech last January, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg suggested that investing in technology will help New York become the "capital of innovation for the 21st century," giving the new Cornell University tech campus on Roosevelt Island as the latest example.

That may well be true. But when it comes to innovation and job growth, the city should continue to nurture another important creative sector: design and architecture. That's according to a new report from the Center for an Urban Future, which shows that New York's design and architecture sector is a bright spot for the city's future as a leader in innovation and economic growth.
