The Five R’s of Real Integration. Members of Integrate NYC helped to craft five critical recommendations for real integration to be seen, heard, and eventually adopted by the city.

In D13 the 5 Rs is the WHAT that will guide the choices we make as we work toward becoming an authentically integrated district.
