Kayden * Faced with mounting social needs and continuing fiscal constraints, more and more cities "mint" money through their zoning codes to fi- nance a wide array of public amenities. Through the land use regula- tory technique formally known as "incentive zoning," cities grant private real estate developers the legal right to disregard zoning restric- tions in return for their voluntary agreement to provide urban design features such as plazas, atriums, and parks, and social facilities and services such as affordable housing, day care centers, and job training. Since its inception some thirty years ago,' incentive zoning has enjoyed broad support from developers and their attorneys, avoiding the legal challenges commonly brought against land use regulations requiring * A.B.

Without their assistance and commitment this would not have been possible. Nicole Jordan, Executive Director Raul Espinal, Legislative Coordinator Nicole Weir, Legislative Intern Adrienne L. Johnson, Office of Assemblywoman Annette Robinson New York Red Book The 1977 Black and Puerto Rican Caucus Journal New York State Library Schomburg Research Center for Black Culture New York State Assembly Editorial Services Amsterdam News 2 DEDICATION: Dear Friends, It is with honor that I present to you this up-to-date chronicle of men and women of color who have served in the New York State Legislature. This book reflects the challenges that resolute men and women of color have addressed and the progress that we have helped New Yorkers achieve over the decades. Since this book was first published in 1977, new legislators of color have arrived in the Senate and Assembly to continue to change the color and improve the function of New York State government. In its 48 years of existence, I am proud to note that the Caucus has grown not only in size but in its diversity. Originally a group that primarily represented the Black population of New York City, the Caucus is now composed of members from across the State representing an even more diverse people.

  • COURSE OBJECTIVES Moving Beyond the Scale of a Single Individual, Design 7 Seeks to Address Architectural Issues at an Urban Scale
    URBAN VIEWING | 1 COURSE OBJECTIVES Moving beyond the scale of a single individual, Design 7 seeks to address architectural issues at an urban scale. This project examines a New York City block in the Hell’s Kitchen area just east of the Hudson River. The site, shown in Figure 1a below, exists between 10th and 11th Avenue and between West 53rd and 54th Street. It follows New York City’s rectilinear grid, establishing a block with an area of 1,600 square feet (200 x 800 ft). To the West lies the Hudson River, directly across 11th Avenue is DeWitt Clinton Park, and the Manhattan skyline extends to the North. This project proposes rethinking what it means to inhabit both the immediate site and the larger context of New York as both a viewer and a participant. Through an emphasis on the notion of viewing and juxtaposition of traditional building programs, architecture is able to form and transform experiences and relationships between individuals. Figure 1a. Satellite image of site, highlighted in green Figures 1b, 1c and 1d. Site analyses A major challenge proposed through the project is how one begins to start breaking down the immense scale of the site. Site analyses, like the ones seen in Figures 1b, 1c and 1d, draw important lines from surrounding edifices and landmarks, emphasizing their influences on the site and circulation. Maintaining views to the water and to important surrounding structures reduces the scale of the block as each edge reflects a unique condition. The writings of Jane URBAN VIEWING | 2 Jacobs are considered in the project as her notions of “eyes on the street” and “breaking down the block” increase the permeability and transparency of the site.
