Pop up that brings New Yorkers together
Street Lab is a nonprofit that creates and shares programs for public space across New York City. We do this work to improve the urban environment, strengthen neighborhoods, and bring New Yorkers together. 300+ times a year, all five boroughs, always in public space. We also send kits around the world to help other cities do the same.
When I saw what you created on our street, it was exactly what I dreamed of, but never imagined possible. Somehow you created the dream in my head of what the city can be.
Street Lab transforms each host site, offering visitors a special urban experience—enjoyable, educational, simple, direct, and out-of-the-ordinary.
Right now,
Street Lab is:
- Piloting new public spaces in partnership with NYC DOT and local communities
- Activating Open Streets on commerical corridors in all five boroughs to support small businesses
- Unveiling new programs and designs, some with Street Lab Teens
- Expanding the roll-out of our new cargo bike delivery system
Street Lab wins a 2021 Best of the City Award.
Since 2011, we’ve deployed our programs 1350+ times in 315 locations across NYC.
