NYC Transport and Tourism Leaders Follow Bloomberg Out of Mayor Office

Bloomberg is planning to take the lessons learned from significantly changing New York City's physical landscape over the past 12 years to other cities in the U.S. and abroad. This means other cities might look more like the NYC of today than the city itself after a term under new leadership.
