Chapter 3: Socioeconomic Conditions West Chelsea District and High Line Open Space Rezoning EIS CHAPTER 3: SOCIOECONOMIC CONDITIONS A. INTRODUCTION The proposed action is not anticipated to have any significant adverse impacts related to socioeconomic conditions. The NYC Department of City Planning (DCP) is proposing zoning map changes and text amendments, as well as acquisition and site selection actions to facilitate the proposed High Line publicly accessible open space in the West Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan Community District 4. As described in Chapter 1, “Project Description,” the proposed action would map new commercial zoning districts along Tenth and Eleventh avenues and along the mid-blocks between W. 16th and W. 20th streets, and W. 27th and W. 30th streets, and would retain existing light manufacturing zoning districts along the mid-blocks between W. 27th and W. 24th streets, and W. 22nd and W. 20th streets. This would allow for new residential and commercial uses in West Chelsea, while encouraging the continued growth of the area’s vibrant art gallery district. The goals of the proposed action are to encourage and guide the development of West Chelsea as a dynamic mixed-use neighborhood; encourage the development of residential uses along appropriate avenues and streets; encourage and support the growth of arts-related uses; facilitate the restoration and reuse of the High Line elevated rail line as an accessible, public open space; ensure that the form and use of new buildings relate to and enhance neighborhood character and the High Line open space; and create and provide a transition to the lower-scale Chelsea Historic District to the east and the planned higher scale Hudson Yards area to the north. The reasonable worst case development scenario for the proposed action specifies that by 2013 it is expected that under With-Action conditions there would be 4,809 dwelling units on the projected development sites, an increase from the 101 dwelling units expected under No-Action conditions. As a result, the proposed action would result in a net increase of 4,708 dwelling units. In addition to the residential development associated with the proposed action, it is also expected to generate net increases of 292,676 195,215 sf of retail space and 198,726 sf of museum space, and net decreases of 816,847 796,947 sf of office, 131,100 sf of hotel, 40,809 74,818 sf of storage/manufacturing, 318,580 225,940 sf of parking/auto related uses, and 25,064 4,080 sf of vacant space on the 25 projected development sites. As noted above, the proposed action also includes the site selection and acquisition of the High Line to create a publicly accessible approximately 6.7-5.9 acre open space. The creation of the High Line open space, which extends south of the rezoning area boundary to Gansevoort Street and also includes the post office spur extending east of Tenth Avenue at W. 30th Street, would have no notable effects on socioeconomic conditions. This open space would not generate any additional residents and would introduce a minimal number of employees. The High Line open space would not directly or indirectly displace any existing businesses or residents, or would it have any adverse effects on specific industries. Special West Chelsea District Rezoning and High Line Open Space EIS Chapter 3 Page 3-1 This chapter examines the potential effects of the proposed action on socioeconomic conditions in the study area, including population and housing characteristics, economic activity, and the real estate market. In accordance with the guidelines presented in the City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual, this chapter evaluates five specific factors that could create significant socioeconomic impacts in an area, including: (1) direct displacement of residential population; (2) direct displacement of existing businesses; (3) indirect displacement of residential population; (4) indirect displacement of businesses; and (5) adverse effects on specific industries not necessarily tied to a project site or area. This analysis begins with a preliminary assessment for each specific issue of concern. According to the CEQR Technical Manual, the goal of a preliminary assessment is to discern the effects of a proposed project or action for the purposes of either eliminating the potential for significant impacts or determining that a more detailed analysis is necessary to answer the question regarding potential impacts. For those factors that could not be eliminated through the preliminary assessment, a more detailed analysis is presented. Based on screening thresholds, the preliminary assessment conducted below shows that a detailed analysis is warranted for the proposed action’s potential to have adverse effects on direct and indirect residential displacement and on direct and indirect business displacement, as well as on two specific industries, commercial art galleries and nightclubs/cabarets. This chapter, therefore, consists of: $ A section that defines the study area boundaries and the data sources used for the preliminary assessment. $ A preliminary assessment for direct residential, direct business, indirect residential, and indirect business displacement, as well as an examination of effects on specific industries. $ A detailed analysis for the proposed action’s effects on all five technical areas where a socioeconomic impact could not be ruled out by the preliminary assessment. A detailed assessment did not reveal the potential for significant adverse impacts in any of the five socioeconomic impact categories as a result of the proposed action. B. STUDY AREA DEFINITION, DATA SOURCES, AND METHODOLOGY Study Areas The analysis in this chapter generally includes two study areas: the primary study area and a secondary study area (see Figures 3-1 and 3-2). As evident from Figure 3-1, the primary study area for residential displacement consists of the area to be rezoned (proposed action area), as well as the eastern portions of City Blocks 714 and 715. The primary study area is generally bounded by W. 30th Street to the north, W. 17th Street to the south, Tenth Avenue to the east, and Eleventh Avenue to the west, as well as a two block area extending east to Ninth Avenue between W. 18th and W. 16th streets. The primary study area for business displacement includes only the proposed action area (see Figure 3-2).

WULS - SGGW, For. and Wood Technol. 94, 2016) Wooden porches of houses from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries DARIA BRĘCZEWSKA-KULESZA1, GRZEGORZ WIELOCH 2 1/ University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Architecture , Architecture Department Bydgoszcz, Poland, 2/ University of Life Science, SGGW, Faculty of Wood Technology, Wood Mechanical Processing Department, Warsaw, Poland, Abstract: Wooden porches of tenement houses from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries At the turn of the XIX and XX centuries with the industrial revolution and the development of capitalism one can observe the rapid development of multi-family housing for rent in the form of multi-family tenement. It was connected with the processes of transformation of urbanization and the introduction of new materials for building such as concrete, cast iron, reinforced concrete or steel. Still, wooden forms existed all the time as elements of construction of adjacent objects and decorations of facades. Porches were usually made of wood. The paper presents examples of porches found in Poland in tenement houses from the turn of the XIX and XX centuries. Keywords: tenement houses, wood, porches, INTRODUCTION On the turn of XIX and XX centuries together with modernization of European countries caused by industrial revolution and development of capitalism one can observe quick development of multi-family housing which was connected with the process of transformation of urbanization. Both were determined by the socio-economic (e.g. increase of wealth, migrations to towns) as well as with the spatial situation of towns.

Due to their subordinate position in the field of art, they often occupy marginal spaces in terms of their location within the urban structure and/or in terms of their physical visibility within the built environment. Their location outside the established artistic cores reflects, at the same time, their weaker economic standing and wish to distinguish themselves from previous generations of cultural producers. Post- socialist cities offer the opportunity to study the spatial history of independent art spaces under different political and economic systems. In this paper, I have used a detailed database of private art galleries in the period from the 1970s to 2019 and content analysis of press and internet texts about them to uncover the stages of development of independent art venues in Krakow, Poland, an example of a post-socialist city with a rich cultural heritage. They included periods of dispersion within the wider inner-city followed by cycles of concentration in rather neglected quarters that were emerging as epicentres of alternative artistic life only to dissipate due to unfavourable economic conditions and the appearance of the next generations of artists who wanted to mark their distinctive presence both in the art world and in the urban space.
