Going forward, it is in the transition phase that the new mayor comes into the scene with a mandate of attempting to re organize the policy in turbulent times.

The people of New York are waiting to see how the campaign promises will be translated to the administration and how his coming to the power will influence the American urban political life in general. The problems which defined his race like affordable housing, free public transportation, and rent stabilisation protections show that he had a high profile agenda founded on the progressive change.
