    S P R I N G 2018 URBAN REVIEW LETTER FROM THE EDITORS A magazine of the Hunter College Planning is inherently political; this is something that Hunter students know well. The Introduction Department of to Planning course has many students reading entire books on problem solving and policy analysis, Urban Affairs & Planning as we aspire to not simply write plans from afar but to affect change, using our skills as planners to SPRING ‘18 advocate within the imperfect and at times broken realm of politics. STAFF However, politics is not simply a tool to accomplish goals of planning. Planning itself is a powerful Editors in Chief political tool, one that can be used to accomplish and demonstrate political goals. A zoning change, a Aly Hassell parking limit, or a design for a park are not technical planning decisions but are pronouncements of Atara Lindenbaum priorities, of political goals, and of particular visions of space and community. Our responsibility as future planners is to probe this technical side of planning, determining its larger context. Layout and Design Editor Aly Hassell This issue of Urban Review had the privilege to feature two accomplished and active planners: Com- missioner Mitchell Silver of the NYC Parks Department and Dr. Lester King, Sustainability Planner Writers James Hull in Houston, TX. Both Silver and King emphasize the need for proper community engagement and Beatriz Gil dialogue. Vicky Garvey Ranjana Venkatesh It is time to ask, however, if this focus on process, on stakeholder engagement and communication Atara Lindenbaum suffices. Equitable planning processes may be inherently positive improvements, but our cities, our Andy Lawson Michael Kralovich people, need equitable results as well.

  • Improving Bus Service in New York a Thesis Presented to The
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Columbia University Academic Commons Improving Bus Service in New York A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Architecture and Planning COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY In Partial Fulfillment Of the requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Urban Planning By Charles Romanow May 2018 Abstract New York City’s transportation system is in a state of disarray. City street are clogged with taxi’s and for-hire vehicles, subway platforms are packed with straphangers waiting for delayed trains and buses barely travel faster than pedestrians. The bureaucracy of City and State government in the region causes piecemeal improvements which do not keep up with the state of disrepair. Bus service is particularly poor, moving at rates incomparable with the rest of the country. New York has recently made successful efforts at improving bus speeds, but only so much can be done amidst a city of gridlock. Bus systems around the world faced similar challenges and successfully implemented improvements. A toolbox of near-immediate and long- term options are at New York’s disposal dealing directly with bus service as well indirect causes of poor bus service. The failing subway system has prompted public discussion concerning bus service. A significant cause of poor service in New York is congestion. A number of measures are capable of improving congestion and consequently, bus service. Due to the city’s limited capacity at implementing short-term solutions, the most highly problematic routes should receive priority. Routes with slow speeds, high rates of bunching and high ridership are concentrated in Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn which also cater to the most subway riders.

  • NYCHA Collection
    Learning Places Spring 2016 LIBRARY / ARCHIVE REPORT Laguardia’s Wagner Archives - NYCHA Collection Jessica Samide 04.11.2015 INTRODUCTION The class met at Laguardia Community College outside of the Wagner Archives. The purpose of this visit was for the archivists to educate the class on NYCHA projects relating to Urban Renewal in Vinegar Hill. We broke off into two separate groups and each group sat down with an archivist who provided us with photographs. The photographs were not of Vinegar Hill, but they were of similar housing projects from Manhattan that were built around the same time. After the archivists discussed the photographs with us, we were taken into the space where they store their content. Lastly, we met with a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador who gave a presentation on editing wikipedia and how to post citations. PRE-VISIT REFLECTION The trip to the Wager Archives will be focused on gathering information on the New York City Housing Authority, which is an organization the was founded in the 1930s. Because the focus of my project is from the l880s until about 1915, the information that will be gathered is not very applicable to my research. However, I am still looking forward to learning about the various NYCHA projects. I may even be able to make connections on how the events of the time period that I am focusing my research on has led to the creation of this organization. SOURCES found 1.

  • Reinventing the Brooklyn Navy Yard by C
    Reinventing the Brooklyn Navy Yard By C. J. HUGHES OCT. 30, 2015 The 300-acre Navy Yard has 7,000 people employed in 330 companies tucked away in structures amid rusting cranes and cannons. Pablo Enriquez for The New York Times The area by the Brooklyn Navy Yard can seem forbidding. Hulking warehouses line Flushing Avenue, a wide and busy street that hugs the yard for 16 blocks, while the yard, a massive former military complex turned manufacturing center, is almost totally enclosed by tall fences and walls. “It’s literally like working in a federal prison,” said Chris Terrell, a wine importer who stores his bottles at the yard and must venture past its security checkpoints. But the vibe will be less harsh going forward, as major steps are being taken to reinvent the area, part of the Wallabout neighborhood. Across from the yard, developers are putting the finishing touches on Navy Green, a $146 million housing complex with market-rate and affordable apartments being built on the site of a former Navy brig. Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation, the nonprofit entity that manages the city-owned facility, is removing some of the walls that have isolated the Navy Yard from the community, while adding a supermarket, a food hall and a park that the public can use. The new Navy Green housing complex will have market-rate and affordable apartments. Pablo Enriquez for The New York Times “It’s to send a message that we’re not turning our backs on the community,” said David Ehrenberg, the development corporation’s president and chief executive.
