New York's architectural and urban landscape has given birth to many architects. They come from all over the world and specialize in architecture and design for commercial and institutional buildings, housing projects and cultural landscapes. A number of these designers have made it big in the world of art, but a few remain on the fringes of appreciation. There are those who have given their talent to designing for the private sector and the public sector, while some still remain in the world of academia and research.

As a New York architects, the urban landscape has grown into the center of the COVID-17 pandemic. The Jacob K. Javits Center for the Performing Arts was retrofitted within the Jacob Javits Convention Center, while other emergency shelters are being installed in Central Park while emergency hospital tents are also being erected in Prospect Park. A team of New York architects is also working to redesign the subway system to increase ridership.

The New York City Housing and Urban Development Agency (HUD) are in the process of redesigning or constructing up to twenty apartment buildings and ten commercial buildings in the Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn areas. This will involve an increased focus on creating better public spaces. In the coming year, this project will also include an increase in the number of public open spaces within the projects, as well as the building of parks and recreational areas.

As the focus on creating new spaces is increasing in New York, the city has also seen the opening up of more space for new development. The Hudson River Greenway Trail, which runs along the Hudson River between New York City and New Jersey, is one of these new developments. In fact, the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation has also been involved in the design of the trail, which will link various parks along the Hudson River.

In the context of urbanism, another prominent architect is the firm of Renzo Piano, which has been working for the last eight decades in New York City. This firm is known for its innovative designs and its commitment to the revitalization of the city's culture. Its architectural projects have been responsible for the renewal of Central Park and the renovation of Shea Stadium.

In other cities, some of the best New York architects are responsible for major works such as the renovation of Times Square, the reconstruction of Times Square in New York City and the construction of a statue of Christopher Columbus. Two of these New York architects are responsible for bringing about the renovation of St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. In other cities, these designers have also designed the restoration of old public buildings.
