The “Affordable” Housing in the Stuyvesant Town–Peter Cooper Village Complex is an editorial design and research project that examines the evolution of affordability within one of New York City's most significant housing developments. Through historical analysis and visual communication, the project investigates how economic, political, and legislative changes have influenced the original goals of affordable housing over time.

Drawing from research on housing policy, urban development, and rent regulation, the publication traces the history of the Stuyvesant Town–Peter Cooper Village complex from its construction to the present day. The project explores how shifts in economic conditions and government policies have affected housing accessibility, affordability, and the experiences of residents living within the complex.

Using editorial design, typography, and information design, the publication translates complex housing issues into an accessible visual narrative. Careful attention is given to content organization, hierarchy, and the presentation of historical information, allowing readers to better understand the relationship between public policy, real estate development, and housing affordability in New York City.

By combining research-driven storytelling with editorial design, The “Affordable” Housing in the Stuyvesant Town–Peter Cooper Village Complex encourages critical reflection on the challenges of maintaining affordable housing within an evolving urban and economic landscape.
