Chapter 4: Social Conditions Chapter 4: Social Conditions A. INTRODUCTION AND METHODOLOGY This chapter addresses a variety of issues that support social conditions, including population and housing characteristics, community facilities and open spaces, and neighborhood character. The discussion of social conditions considers the entire MESA study area (depicted in Figure 3-1 in Chapter 3, above) with particular focus on the project corridor—the routes proposed for the various project alternatives—where the greatest potential for change would occur. Because none of the project alternatives have the potential to change social conditions in the secondary study area, where Build Alternatives 1 and 2 would add service along an existing subway line, this analysis is of the primary study area only. The analysis was conducted by first compiling existing data for population and housing, com- munity facilities and open spaces, and neighborhood character. The source for the population and housing data is the 1990 Census of Population and Housing. The inventory of community facilities is based on Community District Needs (1997) for Manhattan’s Community Boards, the Department of Parks and Recreation’s Property Lists (dated November 4, 1996), supplementary information provided by the various Community Boards within the study area, and the informa- tion gathered for the analysis of land use, zoning, and public policy in Chapter 3. The assessment of neighborhood character is based on information gathered for other chapters of this document, particularly including the analyses of land use (Chapter 3) and visual and aesthetic considerations (Chapter 6). After assessing the existing conditions in the study area, the expected changes in the future are considered, based on information compiled in Chapter 3. Then, each alternative’s effects on population and housing, community facilities and open spaces, and neighborhood character are evaluated. This chapter assesses the potential impacts that may result during operation of each project al- ternative. Impacts on social conditions during construction are documented in Chapter 15, “Con- struction and Construction Impacts.” B. EXISTING CONDITIONS OVERVIEW OF STUDY AREA POPULATION AND HOUSING As described in Chapter 3 (“Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy”), much of the study area is residential. In fact, the MESA study area is home to 45 percent of Manhattan’s total population (see Table 4-1). The portion of the study area with the greatest number of residents is the Upper East Side (with more than 30 percent of the study area’s population and nearly 14 percent of Manhattan’s total population), followed closely by the Lower East Side (27.7 percent of the study area’s population) and then East Midtown. Although East Harlem is also predominantly 4-1 Manhattan East Side Transit Alternatives MIS/DEIS Table 4-1 Study Area Population 1980-1990 1990 1990 Percent Percent of Percent of Zone 1970 1980 1990 Change Study Area Manhattan Lower Manhattan 10,445 13,725 23,631 72.2% 3.5% 1.6% Lower East Side 200,442 177,207 186,176 5.1 27.7 12.5 East Midtown 133,253 141,950 150,140 5.8 22.4 10.1 Upper East Side 199,280 197,343 202,690 2.7 30.2 13.6 East Harlem 154,751 112,915 108,468 -3.9 16.2 7.3 Study Area Total 698,171 643,140 671,105 4.4 100.0 45.1 Manhattan Total 1,539,233 1,428,285 1,487,536 4.4 -- -- Source: U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census of Population and Housing, 1970, 1980, 1990. residential, it is less populated than those three zones. Table 4-1 shows the population in each of the study area zones. More detailed information on selected population characteristics is pro- vided in Table 4-2 and information on the study area’s labor force is provided in Table 4-3. Within the study area are a full range of income levels. The areas with the highest median annu- al household income are in the Upper East Side and East Midtown zones (as well as in Battery Park City), while those with the lowest median incomes are the Lower East Side (with a median household income at 56 percent of the study area’s median household income) and East Harlem (at 36 percent). More than 27 percent of the households on the Lower East Side and 39 percent of the households in East Harlem are living below the poverty level, compared with 18 percent for the study area as a whole. In 1990, minority groups constituted 35 percent of the study area’s population. Most of the study area’s minority residents live on the Lower East Side and in East Harlem—some 54 percent of the residents of the Lower East Side and 78 percent of those in East Harlem are minority resi- dents. Many of the minority residents on the Lower East Side (as well as in the northern part of Lower Manhattan) are Asian people living in Chinatown: in both the Lower Manhattan and Lower East Side zones, approximately 30 percent of the total population is Asian. In addition, 30 percent of the population of the Lower East Side is Hispanic and 10 percent is African- American. In East Harlem, the large proportion of residents are African-American and/or Hispanic: a total of 49 percent of this zone’s residents are African-American and more than half (52 percent) are Hispanic. (Hispanic is an ethnic group that can include members of any race, such as Caucasian or African-American). The study area includes a labor force of more than 391,000 people, of whom 93.4 percent (365,528) were employed in 1990. The employed labor force is concentrated in the same zones and neighborhoods as the population: on the Lower East Side (with 23.7 percent of the study area’s employed labor force), in East Midtown (with 27.3 percent), and on the Upper East Side (with 36.2 percent of the study area’s employed labor force). 4-2 Table 4-2 1990 Population Selected Characteristics of the Study Area Population Economic Profile Population Race and Ethnicity (Percentage) Median Below Percent Percent Household Annual Poverty Change, Age 65 Size Household Level Zone Total 1980-1990 White Black Asian Hispanic* and Over (Persons) Income (Percent)** Lower Manhattan 23,631 72.2% 58.9% 7.9% 30.6% 6.9% 12.4% 1.93 $49,554 13.4% Financial District 2,326 82.3 69.7 17.4 10.5 12.2 12.8 1.67 $50,172 23.0 Tribeca/Civic Center 15,731 26.4 49.5 8.1 39.1 7.3 2.1 2.07 $46,755 15.7 Battery Park City 5,574 100.0 80.6 3.5 14.9 3.6 2.7 1.65 $72,489 3.9 Lower East Side 186,176 5.1 45.7 10.4 28.7 29.4 13.2 2.28 $23,616 27.3 Lower East Side/Chinatown 106,711 6.9 30.9 10.1 44.3 30.2 15.3 2.70 $17,780 28.6 East Village 79,465 2.7 65.6 10.7 7.6 28.4 10.4 1.88 $29,154 25.4 4-3 East Midtown 150,140 5.8 85.8 4.9 7.6 6.6 15.7 1.56 $47,926 8.1 Lower Fifth 45,666 -0.8 85.7 4.9 7.9 5.6 19.2 1.67 $47,660 5.8 Midtown South/Medical Ctr. 41,065 14.4 80.8 8.6 7.3 10.5 10.2 1.52 $39,160 14.2 Murray Hill 13,845 4.2 90.2 2.1 6.7 4.7 14.3 1.42 $48,398 4.9 Grand Central/UN 23,416 23.2 84.8 3.8 10.7 5.2 14.5 1.52 $53,088 7.0 East Midtown 26,148 -5.7 92.3 1.7 5.2 4.6 20.5 1.53 $56,255 5.7 Upper East Side 202,690 2.7 92.4 2.4 4.0 5.2 15.4 1.68 $59,763 5.4 Upper East Side/Medical Ctr. 88,772 -1.7 93.0 1.7 4.3 4.5 18.1 1.61 $60,633 5.0 Carnegie Hill/Yorkville 113,918 6.4 91.9 2.9 3.8 5.7 13.2 1.75 $59,030 5.6 East Harlem 108,468 -3.9 21.8 48.6 1.7 52.3 11.6 2.64 $15,490 39.4 Southern East Harlem 60,708 -3.7 27.2 40.8 2.7 57.0 11.8 2.61 $17,238 36.6 Northern East Harlem 47,760 -4.2 14.9 58.6 0.5 46.3 11.5 2.67 $13,231 43.0 Study Area 671,105 4.4 65.4 12.8 12.2 19.9 14.1 1.91 $42,473 17.8 Manhattan 1,487,536 4.1 58.3 22.0 7.4 26.0 13.3 1.99 $32,262 20.5 Notes: * An ethnic group that can include members of all different racial categories, including African-American and Caucasian residents. ** Percent of persons with incomes below the established poverty level; poverty level varies depending on household size.

  • Chapter 5.1: Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION
    Chapter 5.1: Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION This chapter describes existing land use, zoning, and public policies applicable to the proposed project and evaluates potential significant adverse effects that may result from implementation of the proposed flood protection system. Potential significant adverse effects to land use as a result of implementing the flood protection system are also evaluated. Potential land use issues include known or likely changes in current land uses within the study area, as well as the proposed project’s potential effect on existing and future land use patterns. Potential zoning and public policy issues include the compatibility of the proposed project with existing zoning and consistency with existing applicable public policies. PROJECT AREA ONE Project Area One extends from Montgomery Street on the south to the north end of John V. Lindsay East River Park (East River Park) at about East 13th Street. Project Area One consists primarily of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt East River Drive (FDR Drive) right-of-way, a portion of Pier 42 and Corlears Hook Park as well as East River Park. The majority of Project Area One is within East River Park and includes four existing pedestrian bridges across the FDR Drive to East River Park (Corlears Hook, Delancey Street, East 6th Street, and East 10th Street Bridges) and the East Houston Street overpass. Project Area One is located within Manhattan Community District 3, and borders portions of the Lower East Side and East Village neighborhoods. PROJECT AREA TWO Project Area Two extends north and east from Project Area One, from East 13th Street to East 25th Street.

  • The Occupy Wall Street Movement's Struggle Over Privately Owned
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 3162–3181 1932–8036/20170005 A Noneventful Social Movement: The Occupy Wall Street Movement’s Struggle Over Privately Owned Public Space HAO CAO The University of Texas at Austin, USA Why did the Occupy Wall Street movement settle in Zuccotti Park, a privately owned public space? Why did the movement get evicted after a two-month occupation? To answer these questions, this study offers a new tentative framework, spatial opportunity structure, to understand spatial politics in social movements as the interaction of spatial structure and agency. Drawing on opportunity structure models, Sewell’s dual concept of spatial structure and agency, and his concept of event, I analyze how the Occupy activists took over and repurposed Zuccotti Park from a site of consumption and leisure to a space of political claim making. Yet, with unsympathetic public opinion, intensifying policing and surveillance, and unfavorable court rulings privileging property rights over speech rights, the temporary success did not stabilize into a durable transformation of spatial structure. My study not only explains the Occupy movement’s spatial politics but also offers a novel framework to understand the struggle over privatization of public space for future social movements and public speech and assembly in general. Keywords: Occupy Wall Street movement, privately owned public space (POPS), spatial opportunity structure, spatial agency, spatial structure, event Collective actions presuppose the copresence of “large numbers of people into limited spaces” (Sewell, 2001, p. 58). To hold many people, such spaces should, in principle, be public sites that permit free access to everyone. The Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement, targeting the engulfing inequality in the age of financialization and neoliberalization, used occupation of symbolic sites to convey its message.

  • July 8 Grants Press Release
    CITY PARKS FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES 109 GRANTS THROUGH NYC GREEN RELIEF & RECOVERY FUND AND GREEN / ARTS LIVE NYC GRANT APPLICATION NOW OPEN FOR PARK VOLUNTEER GROUPS Funding Awarded For Maintenance and Stewardship of Parks by Nonprofit Organizations and For Free Live Performances in Parks, Plazas, and Gardens Across NYC July 8, 2021 - NEW YORK, NY - City Parks Foundation announced today the selection of 109 grants through two competitive funding opportunities - the NYC Green Relief & Recovery Fund and GREEN / ARTS LIVE NYC. More than ever before, New Yorkers have come to rely on parks and open spaces, the most fundamentally democratic and accessible of public resources. Parks are critical to our city’s recovery and reopening – offering fresh air, recreation, and creativity - and a crucial part of New York’s equitable economic recovery and environmental resilience. These grant programs will help to support artists in hosting free, public performances and programs in parks, plazas, and gardens across NYC, along with the nonprofit organizations that help maintain many of our city’s open spaces. Both grant programs are administered by City Parks Foundation. The NYC Green Relief & Recovery Fund will award nearly $2M via 64 grants to NYC-based small and medium-sized nonprofit organizations. Grants will help to support basic maintenance and operations within heavily-used parks and open spaces during a busy summer and fall with the city’s reopening. Notable projects supported by this fund include the Harlem Youth Gardener Program founded during summer 2020 through a collaboration between Friends of Morningside Park Inc., Friends of St. Nicholas Park, Marcus Garvey Park Alliance, & Jackie Robinson Park Conservancy to engage neighborhood youth ages 14-19 in paid horticulture along with the Bronx River Alliance’s EELS Youth Internship Program and Volunteer Program to invite thousands of Bronxites to participate in stewardship of the parks lining the river banks.

  • Politics of the Playground: the Spaces of Play of Robert Moses and Aldo Van Eyck Nicolás Stutzin
    FIG 1 Jekerstraat, Amsterdam. Aldo Van Eyck, 1949. © Nicolás Stutzin, 2013 Politics of the Playground: the sPaces of Play of robert Moses and aldo van eyck Nicolás Stutzin Profesor, Facultad de Arquitectura, Arte y Diseño, Universidad Diego Portales Santiago, Chile As a machine for the production of common experiences, the playground was one of the most promoted urban spaces in the mid-twentieth century. Through the surprising parallel between Aldo van Eyck’s plan in Amsterdam and Robert Moses’s plan for New York, this article proves that such a politically correct program can be grounded on completely opposing world views; that is, that a common space can also be a place to experiment divergent political visions. Keywords · New York, Amsterdam, ideology, public space, city Some months after taking the position as Commissioner of the New York City Parks Department in 1934, Robert Moses inaugurated a series of nine playgrounds, the first of a massive initiative which would lead to the creation of nearly 700 new infant playgrounds in the course of 26 years during which he was in charge of the greatest public infrastructure developments of the city. Under Moses’s responsibility, between 1934 and 1960, the city achieved to add an average of one new playground every two weeks. In 1947, Aldo van Eyck, the then debutant architect of Amsterdam’s Public Infrastructure Department, was able to see the first of the over 700 small playgrounds he would design in residual spaces and parks throughout the city in the following 31 years and that would become a central part of his career.
