Abstract: This working paper series grows out of an extraordinary political opening in New York City: the election of Mayor Zohran Mamdani on a mandate to treat housing, transit, care, and education as social goods. The papers collected here offer “Real Utopian” designs for institutions and policies that are both transformative and feasible, with an eye toward durability, scale, and egalitarianism.
