the MuniciPal art societ y of neW yorK
Since 1893, the Municipal Art Society has made New York a more livable city
by advocating for excellence in urban planning and design, a commitment to
historic preservation and the arts, and the empowerment of local
communities to affect change in their neighborhoods.
For more than 120 years, MAS has championed the economic vitality, cultural
vibrancy, environmental sustainability and social diversity of New York,
leading some of the city’s most influential campaigns to protect its diverse
assets and encourage visionary plans for its future.
the Jacqueline Kennedy onassis Medal
The Municipal Art Society’s highest honor is presented annually to individuals
and institutions whose work or deeds have made outstanding contributions to
the quality of life in New York City.
In 1975, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis brought to MAS her commitment to New
York’s great architecture and urban spaces and sparked a collaboration for
which New Yorkers have been grateful ever since—the winning fight to save
Grand Central Terminal.
MAS is the only organization to award a medal in Mrs. Onassis’ honor, named
for her in 1994 to recognize her tireless efforts to champion and preserve New
York’s great treasures.

aBout forest cit y ratner coMPanies
Forest City Ratner Companies is one of the most prolific ground-up development companies in New York City and has played a major role in Brooklyn’s dramatic renaissance. In its 28 years, FCRC has developed 44 office, retail, residential, hotel and sports and entertainment projects, totaling some 16.7 million square feet, in all five boroughs and throughout the metropolitan area.
FCRC has committed itself to innovative, place-building projects that open new markets for tenants, provide services for communities, and generate thousands of new jobs. Whether creating a new office market in downtown Brooklyn, identifying an unmet demand for large format retail in the boroughs, or relocating the Nets to unlock the development potential for an entire neighborhood, FCRC’s pioneering developments have played a vital role in building New York City over the past three decades. In addition to enhancing the skyline, these projects bring significant citywide and community benefits, including job creation and retention; programs to encourage the hiring of minorities, women and local residents; generation of new tax revenues and affordable housing; and high quality construction by union labor.
