In a speech on urban planning in London last year, Mr. Silver said that in planning he used the “3 E’s — the environment, economy and equity,”
the British newspaper The Guardian reported.

“We can’t have parks that are so underfunded,” he said, “that people can’t have a good experience there. And unfortunately, that’s the case in many parts of the city.”

“I am a planner,” he said. “And as a planner, I look at parks very differently.
Parks do not sit in isolation.”
Mr. Silver said a park system is “vital to a healthy and prosperous city.” He pledged to work with “all New Yorkers in all boroughs in all neighborhoods.”
