  • Hudson Yards Redevelopment: Neighborhood Identity Through Urban Space and Multicultural Arts College
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: HUDSON YARDS REDEVELOPMENT: NEIGHBORHOOD IDENTITY THROUGH URBAN SPACE AND MULTICULTURAL ARTS COLLEGE Jeannie Ahn, Master of Architecture, 2006 Directed By: Professor of Practice, Gary Bowden, School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation New York City, with its recognizable neighborhoods, has been known for constantly reinventing itself to address the needs of its residents and fluctuations in the local economy. It has flourished as a major attraction to various ethnic groups that have settled in these varied neighborhoods from its beginnings as a Dutch fur- trading port to its present state. The Hudson Yards, is the city’s most underutilized and underdeveloped property due to its current zoning and lack of access by subway service. This thesis explores development of an identifiable neighborhood for the Hudson Yards through the creation of a civic urban space with a multicultural institution as its anchor. Seen as the city’s “last frontier1,” the site creates a great opportunity to celebrate the city’s multicultural history by developing an institution with community services that seeks 1 New York City Department of City Planning [http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/html/hyards/hymain.shtml] to promote the preservation, performance, and educational exchange of the performing and visual folk arts.

  • Western Rail Yard
    Chapter 10: Neighborhood Character A. INTRODUCTION Neighborhood character is an amalgam of several elements that give an area its distinctive personality and help distinguish it from other neighborhoods. These components include: land use; street layout; scale, type, and style of development; historic features; patterns and volumes of traffic; noise levels; and any other physical or social characteristics. However, not all of these elements affect neighborhood character in all cases; a neighborhood usually draws its character from a few determining elements. Using information presented in other technical chapters of this EIS, this chapter examines neighborhood character at the three project sites and the associated surrounding study areas, and analyzes the effects of the Proposed Actions on neighborhood character in these areas. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS The Proposed Actions would have a beneficial effect on neighborhood character on the project sites and in the surrounding study areas. Development of Western Rail Yard would fulfill a long- standing public policy to promote productive use of the site with a lively mix of uses, open spaces, and streets that would complement and support the development in the Hudson Yards area and West Chelsea. Construction of permanently affordable housing on the Tenth Avenue and Ninth Avenue Sites would support the Clinton neighborhood by emphasizing its residential character and the mixed-income character of its residents. DEVELOPMENT SITE The Proposed Actions would change the character of the Development Site, and this change would be, on balance, decidedly beneficial. The site, which presents a blank wall to the surrounding neighborhood on two sides and transportation/maintenance uses where it can be seen, would be transformed with a mix of residential and commercial uses and open spaces, clearly visible and accessible to the public.

The relatively few miles of improved road were around towns and cities (a road was “improved” if it was graded). That year, Carl Fisher (developer of Miami Beach and the Indianapolis Speedway, among other things) conceived a trans-continental highway. He called it the “Coast-to-Coast Rock Highway.” It would be finished in time for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition and would run from the exposition’s host city; San Francisco, to New York City. Two auto industry tycoons played major roles in the highway’s development: Frank Seiberling - president of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., and Henry Joy - president of the Packard Motor Car Company. It was Henry Joy who came up with the idea of naming the highway after POTUS Abraham Lincoln. On July 1st 1913, the Lincoln Highway Association was officially incorporated.
