Civic Explainers
Learn More About How NYC Government Works!
“Civic Explainers” are designed to provide you with easy guides of how NYC government works including how budgets are developed, land use decisions are made, the role of our elected officials, and how you can impact your city. Please download and share.
These documents are based on the guide written by the League of Women Voters of the City of New York on how city government works: “What Makes New York City Run?” We wish to thank Con Edison for financially supporting the production and translation of the Civic Explainers.
