It can be defi ned that may not be the case for the elderly, the disabled or those carrying both by Chinese population and by Chinese-owned businesses. It over- heavy loads. Seen from this angle, some areas in the southeastern sec- laps with other neighborhoods, including the Lower East Side and Little tion of the Lower East Side are not within “easy walking distance” of a Italy. It meets the broadest possible defi nition of an ethnic enclave (see subway station. sidebar), in that it includes residents from a certain ethnic group concen- trated in a spatially defi ned area, and it includes businesses owned by Geography of Chinatown members of that ethnic group that serve the same ethnic group. Depending on the boundary used for the general Chinatown area, the area of focus encompasses parts of Community Districts 1, 2 and 3, but a vast majority of the focus area falls within Community District 3 (see “Context Area” map). Zip code 10002 encompasses much of the Lower East Side, excluding the Five Points neighborhood and Little Italy, both of which have many Chinese residents and Chinese-owned businesses. Zip code 10013 includes the Chinese-heavy Little Italy and Five Points and extends all the way to the Hudson River to include Tribeca (see “Zip Codes” map). Much of the data in this report is analyzed by Census tracts (see the map below). Census Tracts, 2010 What is an Ethnic Enclave? Distinct immigrant neighborhoods are a well established phe- nomenon in many American cities, from Los Angeles’ Thai Town to San Francisco’s Japantown to Philadelphia’s Chinatown. Ethnic enclaves can be defi ned in several ways, including as a concentration of businesses owned by members of the ethnic group that serve either the ethnic group or the population at large (Portes, 1981). Ethnic enclaves can also be defi ned as a concentration of residents belonging to a single ethnic group (Xie, Y., & Gough, M., 2011). Finally, they can contain both a commercial and a residential element (Allen and Turner, 2005). Either way, they require spatial concentration in one location. To be successful and long-lasting, ethnic enclaves rely on certain As can be seen on the public transportation map on page 3, much of symbioses for success, where immigrants rely on informal inter- the area is transit rich, with access to both subways and buses.

NYNSR goals are to expandthe number of small, excellent public schools in New York City neighborhoods, particularly those with few educational options; encourage the spreadof practices that help students succeed; build supportive small school networks; and advocate for increased school autonomy. Whether as new schools or as large schools redesigned into small units, small scale has been the key. NYNSR schools average 300 students. Many schools utilize servicelearning and internships, and all have partnerships with local organizations and universities to connect students to the responsibilities of citizenship and work.

    TESTIMONY FROM NYCHA CHAIRMAN JOHN B. RHEA NE W YOR K CITY HOUS ING AUTHORITY REAL PROPERTY USE AS S E MB LY COMMITTE E ON HOUS ING FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 2013 – 11:00AM Chairman Keith Wright, distinguished members of the Committee, and to all the members of the State Assembly, I am John B. Rhea, Chairman of the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA). Joining me this morning is Fred Harris, Executive Vice President for Real Estate Development. Thank you for the opportunity to discuss with you our plan to develop new mixed-income housing on NYCHA land. I will describe the challenges that necessitate action on this front; our unique opportunity to reinvest in public housing; and our ongoing engagement of residents, elected officials, and other important stakeholders. Most importantly, I will explain how the plan will benefit NYCHA residents and communities across the City. The Need As we have shared with the members of this committee – as well as other state and local elected officials, advocacy groups, concerned non-profits, and the nearly 630,000 New Yorkers we serve – NYCHA faces serious challenges, including an aging housing stock and a waiting list that only grows longer as more striving families come to our City in search of opportunity and affordable housing. As Mayor Bloomberg announced yesterday, the City’s population has increased by over 160,000 people since 2010, and NYCHA can be sure that many of these newcomers will look to us as a vital resource to help start their lives here. In addition, we’ve seen a dramatic change in the assistance we receive from our partners in government, including the total elimination of state funding and a steady and precipitous decline in funding from the federal government, our principal source of capital and operating dollars.

  • Community Involvement in Redevelopment After the Expiration of Urban Renewal Plans
    Renewing Renewal: Community Involvement in Redevelopment After the Expiration of Urban Renewal Plans A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Preservation COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Urban Planning by Caroline Thompson May 2020 Abstract Communities impacted by urban renewal in the mid-twentieth century were largely unable to stop the changes brought to their neighborhoods. The plans that operationalized urban renewal remained in place for over 40 years, with significant legislative, legal, and financial effort required to make any alterations. In New York City, many of the urban renewal areas and their governing plans have since expired, ushering in market-driven development and neighborhood changes. This thesis uses a mixed-methods approach to analyze the subsequent built environment changes and to explore community involvement through case studies of redevelopment in the former Seward Park Extension Urban Renewal Area (SPEURA) and Two Bridges Urban Renewal Area (TBURA). While many lots remain unchanged since the urban renewal era, those that have changed reflect local development preferences or the results of major rezonings. The case studies reveal the wide variety of methods of community involvement in site redevelopment, with implications for future participation in redevelopment in the city. Key words: urban renewal, participation, Two Bridges, Essex Crossing, Large-Scale Developments ii Table of Contents List of Figures .......................................................................................................................
