Summary

Dan Doctoroff is the New Yorker largely responsible for rebuilding New York after 9/11. The legacy of his long career in business and government includes his oversight as deputy mayor in the creation of now-iconic spots: Hudson Yards, the High Line, Brooklyn Bridge Park, the new World Trade Center. Doctoroff reflects on his life and career two years after receiving his ALS diagnosis and shortly after learning about a project that celebrates his contributions to New York. In a surprise tribute, his friends and colleagues wrote, “The Urbanist: Dan Doctoroff and the Rise of New York.” Andrew Ross Sorkin sits down with Doctoroff in the Whitney Museum for a look at his legacy and his supercharged nonprofit venture, Target ALS, in this special Memorial Day episode. In this episode: Andrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkin Katie Kramer, @Kramer_Katie
