Podcast appearances and mentions of John Mollenkopf

Discussing immigration, guest John Mollenkopf remarks that he'd “be doing a lot of what Mayor Adams is doing…screaming for help from the federal government” to allow immigrants to work and to get out of shelters. Mollenkopf pictures cities as "pumps,” drawing people in, lifting them up, providing mobility out of poverty, calling race and class, as factors contributing to a polarized society. Asked why NYC has so large a housing shortage, John Mollenkopf commented it's hard and expensive to build in New York City.

Eric Adams, the second elected Black mayor of New York City, inherited a city embattled by the the Covid-19 pandemic, a slow recovering economy, and a sustained spike in crime that continues to rise. Distinguished Professor John Mollenkopf (Political Science and Sociology), a consummate analyst of New York City politics, says there's a widespread feeling that public spaces have become less enjoyable, more insecure, and even more threatening. He says this feeling goes beyond violent crime to pedestrian safety from cars and cyclists.He also discusses how homelessness and associated mental illness makes obvious the need to build affordable housing. Listen to hear the full episode of the Thought Project podcast that explores the first six months of Eric Adams mayoralty and the challenges that confront his administration in America's biggest city.

The Census is in the Constitution to allocate House seats across a state, and the basis of political representation. John Mollenkopf discusses the #1 surprise of the 2020 Census: NY's population has grown substantially to 8.8 million people and more.

This week's guest is Distinguished Professor John Mollenkopf (Political Science and Sociology), who directs The Graduate Center's Center for Urban Research. He also coordinates our interdisciplinary concentration in public policy and urban studies. He weighs in on the presidential election and the unusual number of mayors vying for the Democratic nomination.
