As our city emerges from the pandemic and enters a new era of rebirth, 5BORO Institute aims to emerge as a flexible, cutting-edge policy incubator to help guide the city and its leaders through this period of immense transition and possibility.

The issues that 5BORO Institute intends to tackle are intense and complex. In order for people to listen and learn, we need to make our research digestible and, most importantly, feasible for implementation. We aim to propose solutions via policy reports and white papers, sponsored events, podcasts and videos, newsletters, press outreach, and social media engagement with an emphasis on funding and execution of new programs. 

The 5BORO Institute will work with Hunter College as our lead academic partner. Together, we will collaborate with our city's top academic institutions including NYU, Fordham, Cooper Union, and Pace University, among others. 5BORO will build on the ideas proposed during Mayor Eric Adams' campaign by putting them through a rigorous academic analysis to test their financial viability and ability to implement. 

We aim to see the process through from start to finish - from rigorous academic testing to campaigns to build public support around key proposals.
