  • A Retrospective of Preservation Practice and the New York City Subway System
    Under the Big Apple: a Retrospective of Preservation Practice and the New York City Subway System by Emma Marie Waterloo This thesis/dissertation document has been electronically approved by the following individuals: Tomlan,Michael Andrew (Chairperson) Chusid,Jeffrey M. (Minor Member) UNDER THE BIG APPLE: A RETROSPECTIVE OF PRESERVATION PRACTICE AND THE NEW YORK CITY SUBWAY SYSTEM A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Emma Marie Waterloo August 2010 © 2010 Emma Marie Waterloo ABSTRACT The New York City Subway system is one of the most iconic, most extensive, and most influential train networks in America. In operation for over 100 years, this engineering marvel dictated development patterns in upper Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. The interior station designs of the different lines chronicle the changing architectural fashion of the aboveground world from the turn of the century through the 1940s. Many prominent architects have designed the stations over the years, including the earliest stations by Heins and LaFarge. However, the conversation about preservation surrounding the historic resource has only begun in earnest in the past twenty years. It is the system’s very heritage that creates its preservation controversies. After World War II, the rapid transit system suffered from several decades of neglect and deferred maintenance as ridership fell and violent crime rose. At the height of the subway’s degradation in 1979, the decision to celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the opening of the subway with a local landmark designation was unusual.

  • COVID's $34 Billion Bite out of the Big Apple
    COVID’s $34 billion bite out of the Big Apple Some 70,000 people have left the NYC area since COVID began. Nowhere is the pain of that emigration felt more profoundly than in once busy, growing neighborhoods and points of interest the pandemic has made quiet and declining. The hype is real. Just nine months into what we can measure about COVID-19 migration from big cities, the data is clear. People are emigrating from urban neighborhoods through- out the United States and the economic impacts both real and forecasted are staggering. Billions of dollars are changing address and New York City is a prime point of departure. In this post, we use our Emerging Areas dataset and the Retail Impact Scoreboard to examine the effects of COVID-19 related migration on the Williamsburg, Astoria and Tribeca neighborhoods of New York. Beyond foot traffic and social distancing, the data tells a story of neighborhoods with a booming past now on a slow downwards trend, with significant consequences for local commerce and real estate markets. UNACAST.COM 01 In this post, we examine the impact of COVID-19 For our discussion, COVID Emigration will be defined related migration on three neighborhoods in New as outward migration from a given neighborhood York City: Williamsburg in Brooklyn, Astoria in Queens, that occurred between February 1 2020 and and Tribeca in Lower Manhattan. Our objectives are December 7 2020. COVID Immigration will be defined to quantify the number of people that have moved as inward migration to the same neighborhood in from or to each neighborhood, and measure the the same period.

  • Coney Island Visions From
    CONEY ISLAND November 2008 VISIONS www.nycfuture.org The Bloomberg administration has a plan to rezone Coney Island. But is it really a bold vision for creating a 21st century amusement area that is worthy of its incredible brand and unique place in the hearts of New Yorkers? To inject fresh ideas into the redevelopment process, the Center for an Urban Future asked thinkers from a variety of fields to share their vision for Coney Island. We talked to dozens of experts from New York and around the world—including amusement industry veterans like the CEO of Copenhagen-based Tivoli Gardens, the founder of a New York based video game development company, the visionary developers of Chelsea Market and Red Hook’s Beard Street warehouse, novelists who have written extensively about Coney Island and Brooklyn, and an assortment of architects, urban planners and historians.

  • It's Amateur Hour in the Big Apple
    It's Amateur Hour in the Big Apple New York Newsday - April 12, 1995 It's Amateur Hour in the Big Apple Now that the House has voted on the Contract With America, the nation is getting down to really serious business: the NBA play-offs, the start of the major league baseball season, the U.S. Open (this year on Long Island), and the America's Cup competition. This will be an especially tough year for New Yorkers, who are already witnessing the collapse of the Rangers, a team that won the Stanley Cup last year and showed its gratitude for the tickertape we showered on them by immediately resuming their losing ways. And the new smoking ban at Shea and Yankee stadiums will make baseball games far more dangerous if nicotine-deprived fans increase their beer consumption, causing severe crowd-control problems. Soon, the George Steinbrenner show in which a Tampa businessman threatens to move the Yankees out of town will resume. Even Christy Whitman is playing the game, with her proposal that the Giants and Jets adopt New Jersey as their moniker, not just their location. It's time for New York City to stop subsidizing professional teams and invest in participant, not spectator, sports. We need a sports policy that serves the city's changing population and neighborhoods, not just the elites who fill the first row of Madison Square Garden. Soccer may never surpass football's television ratings, but it's the dominant game at Flushing Meadow Park. In Van Cortlandt Park, cricket is preferred to baseball, and in Gaelic Park, hurling and Gaelic football are the sports of choice.
