In the next 10 years I would like to see more smart, integrated design. New York is going to be dealing with massive population growth and tourism within a really finite space. We need to make it more livable.

In Europe you see a lot of smart design around roundabouts; you see more public parks, more community-centered design. That would be nice. One of the best things about New York is that there are so many different people from all different walks of life. It would be really nice to have more than just Central Park or Prospect Park or these tiny little parks scattered around the city to bring people together.
