  • Planning in Neighborhoods with Multiple Publics
    Journal of Planning Education and Research OnlineFirst, published on April 20, 2010 as doi:10.1177/0739456X10368700 Journal of Planning Education and Research XX(X) 1 –17 Planning in Neighborhoods with © 2010 Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning Reprints and permission: http://www. Multiple Publics: Opportunities sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/0739456X10368700 and Challenges for Community-Based http://jpe.sagepub.com Nonprofit Organizations Tarry Hum1 Abstract New York City is the quintessential immigrant gateway, and its transformation to a majority “minority” city is evident in the complex demography of its numerous neighborhoods. Based on detailed case studies of two neighborhoods undergoing significant development pressures that pose a dramatic reshaping of community life, this article examines whether New York City community boards serve as a “pivotal” public arena to mitigate racial tensions and meaningfully engage diverse stakeholders including immigrants in neighborhood planning. The case studies of Sunset Park, Brooklyn and Flushing, Queens demonstrate that community boards do not necessarily engage all stakeholders in meaningful or sustained ways and are limited in advancing race relations in a challenging socioeconomic context. This article substantiates how community-based nonprofit organizations are essential to the institutional landscape of immigrant neighborhoods by engaging multiple publics in community planning. Keywords immigrants, community boards, neighborhood planning, zoning, community-based nonprofit organizations Introduction political landscape includes fifty-nine community boards that serve an official, albeit advisory, role on city service New York City is a quintessential immigrant gateway, and delivery, land use and zoning, and budgetary matters (Marcuse its transformation to a majority “minority” city is evident in 1990).
