Urban planning in Albany, New York

Despite Albany's prominence as the state capital of New York, over the years, large swaths of the city's urban core have been either destroyed or in decline.
Earlier this year, for the first time in the city's 400 year history, it adopted a comprehensive urban plan, aimed at turning things around.
It outlines ways to improve everything from public transportation, to education, and affordable housing over the next 20 years.
