Hester Street is a nonprofit organization dedicated to urban planning, design, and community development, with a mission to ensure that neighborhoods are shaped by the voices of their residents.

Over the years, Hester Street has partnered with various organizations, including the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and the NYC Mayor's Office of Climate and Environmental Justice, to address critical issues such as land use planning and environmental justice. As it prepares to conclude its operations after 20 years, Hester Street leaves a legacy of empowering communities to actively participate in shaping their urban environments.
