  • MXB Virtual Tour
    Projects & Proposals > Manhattan > Virtual Tour of Malcolm X Boulevard Archived Content This page describes Malcolm X Boulevard as it appeared in 2001. The tour was developed as part of the Malcolm X Boulevard Streetscape Enhancement Project. Welcome! Welcome to Malcolm X Boulevard in the heart of Harlem! This online virtual tour highlights the landmarks of Harlem and is available in printable text form. Introduction: This tour was developed by the Department of City Planning as part of its Malcolm X Boulevard Streetscape Enhancement Project. The project, which extends from West 110th to West 147th Street, seeks to complement the ongoing capital improvements for Malcolm X Boulevard and take advantage of the growing tourist interest in Harlem. The project proposes a program of streetscape and pedestrian space improvements, including new pedestrian lighting, new sidewalk and median landscaping and the provision of pedestrian amenities, such as seating and pergolas. The Department has been working with Cityscape Institute, the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone, the New York City Department of Transportation, and the Department of Design and Construction, and has received implementation funds totaling $1.2 million through the federal TEA21 Enhancement Funding program for the proposed pedestrian lighting improvements. As one element of the project, the Department developed this guided tour of the boulevard and neighboring blocks. The tour provides an overview of local area history, and highlights architecturally significant and landmarked buildings, noteworthy cultural and ecclesiastical institutions and other points of interest. A listing of former famous jazz clubs, such as the Cotton Club and Savoy Ballroom, is also provided. Envisioned as an information resource for residents and visitors, the tour is also available in printable text format for use as a hand-held guide for a self-guided walking tour along the boulevard.

  • The Gentrification of Harlem's Main Street in the Bloomberg Years
    Urbanities, Vol. 4 · No 2 · November 2014 © 2014 Urbanities After the 125th Street Rezoning: The Gentrification of Harlem’s Main Street in the Bloomberg Years Alessandro Busà (Center for Metropolitan Studies of the Technical University, Berlin) [email protected] This article investigates the impact of the 2008 rezoning plan for 125th Street in Harlem on long-time residents and independent local businesses. It starts with a brief history of development at 125th Street from its beginnings as a popular commercial corridor in the 1910s and 1920s through the decay of the neighbourhood during the Great Depression and in the post-WWII years, to its renaissance in the late 1990s and 2000s. The paper then focuses on the Bloomberg years, and on the contentious decision-making process that led to the approval of a rezoning plan for 125th Street corridor in 2008. The plan is analysed in detail, followed by an assessment of its impact on neighbourhood character, on local retail and on housing affordability. I use data from the 2000-2010 Census, along with figures on rental values, business openings and closings, to illustrate the process of residential and commercial gentrification of the area during the years of Bloomberg. I demonstrate how, although the sweeping gentrification of the areas surrounding 125th Street had begun in the late 1990s, the pace of these transformations has accelerated tremendously after the 2008 rezoning. Keywords: Rezoning, New York City, Gentrification, Displacement, Harlem, Michael Bloomberg, Amanda Burden, Harlem Renaissance. Introduction In April 2013, the Real Estate Board of New York launched a ‘Harlem Open House Expo’ in partnership with CHASE Manhattan, an event geared at ‘potential buyers looking to get a peek at the hot Harlem real estate’ (Real Estate Board of New York 2013; from now on, REBNY).
