The collaborative process that grounds the work of the Task Force included an evening-long series of visioning workshops hosted by the Municipal Art Society in November 2004, entitled Community-Based Planning in New York City: Summit 2004.

The Task Force was joined by over 100 people who came together to discuss the state of community-based planning in New York City and to discuss strategies for increasing the role of communities in planning decisions and local governance. Although participants came from a wide range of organizations — as diverse as city agencies, developers, and environmental justice advocates — their conclusions about the obstacles to community-based planning and their ideas for increasing the ability of communities to plan by and large coincided with the issues and challenges identified by the Task Force.
