Wheaton Chairman Interdepartmental Degree Program in Real Estate Development SEP 16 1996 AN ANALYSIS OF THE PLAN FOR THE REVITALIZATION OF LOWER MANHATTAN By John E. Lodge Submitted to the Department of Architecture on August 1, 1996 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Real Estate Development at the MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ABSTRACT Most older cities in the United States are looking for ways to revitalize their aging central business districts (CBDs). As urban development patterns become increasingly metropolitan with the growth of 'edge cities' and suburban commercil complexes, cities at the center are faced with structural and locational impediments to growth. New York has implemented a program called the Plan for the Revitalization of Lower Manhattan in an attempt to address the area's lack of competitiveness. This Plan combines zoning changes, tax abatements, energy charge abatements, and historic preservation initiatives in an incentive program designed to spur the redevelopment of existing building stock into both residential units and more modernized office space. -

Community Impact on Post 9/11 Urban Planning of Lower
COMMUNITY IMPACT ON POST 9/11 URBAN PLANNING OF LOWER MANHATwin TowersAN: FORM FOLLOWS VALUES by LAURA JANINE HOFFMAN (Under the Direction of HANK METHVIN) ABSTRACT Community response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 on the World Trade Center Twin Towers was immediate, and had indelible impact on subsequent urban planning in Lower Manhattan. Community and civic groups formed to do grassroots research and design in an inclusive and transparent process. Individuals’ hopes for the rebuilding of their city were collected through citywide workshops, town meetings, public forums, and websites. The resulting vision is a comprehensive and integrated view of urban infrastructure and human needs. It is a reflection of current cultural values, and necessitated a change in the guiding principles for rebuilding Lower Manhattan. The clarity and consistency of the community’s themes is uncanny, and was foreshadowed by post-modern urbanists: 1.Remembrance / memorial 2. Human capital/ jobs, job training, education 3. Affordable housing 4.Hubs and sub centers with links 5. Design Excellence 6. Sustainable: buildings, pedestrian friendly, transportation 7. mass transit improvements 8. Community = 24/7; connect neighborhoods; use waterfront and open spaces 9. Cultural diversity; institutions and incubator spaces INDEX WORDS: World Trade Center, Twin Towers, Manhattan, Lower Manhattan, September 11, 2001, 911, 9/11, community, values, principles, urban planning, post-modern urbanism, sustainable, 24/7, mixed use, pedestrian-friendly, cultural -

5.2 Land Use and Zoning
Metropolitan Transportation Authority/New York City Transit South Ferry Terminal Project 5.2 LAND USE AND ZONING This section describes the land use and zoning of the project site and surrounding area, followed by an analysis of the potential for incompatibility or adverse impact on prevailing land use patterns and zoning (land use considerations are also addressed in Section 5.19: Consistency with Local Plans, as appropriate). 5.2.1 Existing Land Use 5.2.1.1 Project Site As discussed in Section 1.6, the Proposed Action consists of the construction of a new bellmouth and fan plant (located at the intersection of Battery Place and Greenwich Street), new approach tunnels, and a new South Ferry Terminal. With the exception of aboveground ancillary facilities, the project would be located entirely underground, having limits of construction approximately 1,700 feet in length, and extending from just north of the Battery Place/Greenwich Street intersection to Peter Minuit Plaza. Land uses directly within the project construction limits, from north to south, include portions of Greenwich Street and Battery Place, Battery Park, State Street, and Peter Minuit Plaza. Greenwich Street is a two-lane street which starts at Battery Place and runs north to the WTC site. It resumes on the north side of the WTC site and continues north through the west side of Manhattan to 14th Street. Battery Place is an east-west thoroughfare and bus route connecting West Street with State Street. Battery Place forms the northern boundary of Battery Park. A traffic island used for parking is located in the center of Battery Place just west of Greenwich Street. -

Cultural Resources
Chapter 6: Cultural Resources A. INTRODUCTION This chapter considers the potential for the proposed Route 9A Project to affect historic archaeological and architectural resources. The primary Route 9A corridor Area of Potential Effect (APE) for the project has been defined as the area bounded by North Moore Street to the north, Battery Place to the south, the limits of the Route 9A right-of-way to the west and Greenwich, Church and Washington Streets to the east (see Figure 6-1). B. REGULATORY CONTEXT The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the consideration of potential impacts to historic resources. In addition, potential effects on historic resources are considered in conformance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), Section 4(f) of the United States Department of Transportation Act of 1966 (Section 4[f]), and the New York State Historic Preservation Act of 1980 (SHPA). In addition, the New York City Landmarks Law and potential impacts to New York City Landmarks (NYCLs) and New York City Historic Districts (NYCHDs) have been considered. A Programmatic Agreement was established on March 14, 1994 among the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the New York State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) regarding the Reconstruction of Route 9A. The analysis of potential effects to archaeological resources and historic properties was completed pursuant to this document. As part of the proposed Route 9A Project, an amendment to the 1994 Programmatic Agreement is being developed because of the changes to this project resulting from the World Trade Center (WTC) disaster and the determination that the WTC Site is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. -
Cultural Resources 11.1 Introduction 11.1.1 Context and Key Issues
MTA New York City Transit Fulton Street Transit Center FEIS and Section 4(f) Evaluation CHAPTER 11: CULTURAL RESOURCES 11.1 INTRODUCTION 11.1.1 CONTEXT AND KEY ISSUES Cultural resources are an important part of the character of a community. Cultural resources may include historic features, such as buildings, structures, sites, objects and districts, as well as archaeological resources, which are physical remains, usually buried, of past activities on a site. Archaeological resources can include remains from Native American people who used or occupied a site, including tools, refuse from tool-making activities, habitation sites, etc. These resources are also referred to as “precontact,” since they were deposited before Native Americans’ contact with European settlers. Archaeological resources can also include remains from activities that occurred during the “historic period” (the period beginning with European colonization of the New York area), and include remains such as battle sites, foundations, wells and privies. This chapter presents the potential impacts on cultural resources from the construction and operation of the Fulton Street Transit Center (FSTC). The analysis of potential impacts was carried out in accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), 16 U.S.C Section 470f and the implementing regulations under Section 106 that are codified at 36 C.F.R. 800. Section 106 and the Part 800 regulations require Federal agencies to consider the effects of their actions on historic properties, which are defined in the regulations as resources listed on or determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Properties listed on or determined eligible for the National Register can include both archaeological and historic resources. -
