    Manhattan Retail Market MID-3RD QUARTER 2019 REPORT Pictured: 19 Union Square West Looking Ahead City Council Approves Bill Requiring Registration of Storefronts On February 23rd the city council approved a bill that if signed into law by Mayor de Blasio will require the Department of Finance (DOF) to collect data and establish a public dataset of ground fl oor or 2nd fl oor commercial premises throughout New York City. Landlords and property owners will be required to register no later than one year after the effective date of the enactment of the amendment to local law; and in each year thereafter according the text posted on the city council’s website. The bill had initially been proposed in March among several others aimed at protecting small independently-owned businesses; but modifi cations have shifted the responsibility of the creation and maintenance of the publicly accessible online database from the Department of Small Business Services (SBS) to the DOF. The searchable dataset labeled by some as a Storefront Tracker is expected to be established by the DOF no later than (6) months after receiving owner submissions; and be based upon registrations fi led during the previous year. Requirements differing for Class 1 property owners, electronic registration submissions to the DOF as part of the annual income and expense statement submission will include: 1.

Abstract The European Union’s media art initiative Connecting Cities and New York-based Streaming Museum are two recent examples of curatorial models that operate through large, networked, digital displays. This growing exhibition category combines expressive media architecture and telecommunication elements to engage ‘trans-local’ sites and diverse publics in complex media spaces. By investigating the confluence of exhibition making, public art and urban experience, this article explores the relationship between spectacle and criticality with respect to shifting notions of space, identity and ‘the common’. Keywords Connecting Cities Streaming Museum public art trans-local audiences digital culture 1 exhibitions and new media art and urbanism As the city context changes with the addition of more expressive and connected digital public displays, a shift in the experience and definition of space occurs (McQuire 2008).

  • A Front Porch Travelogue
    New York, New York A Front Porch Travelogue Page 1 Introduction For those not familiar with the Front Porch Travelers, let me take a moment to introduce you. They are six senior citizens who have become very real over the past many years that they’ve been presenting the travelogue for Activity Connection. Couples Nell and Truman McGiver and Bert and Ethel Davis join sisters Mabel and Maude Gunderson in their virtual adventures around the world. Click here to learn more about the Front Porch Travelers. Page 2 “My kind of town” is just one of the ways the Front Porch Travelers describe New York City, but they are all in agreement that it’s been too long since they were there. Come join them as they revisit all of the many wonders this magical city known as “the Big Apple” holds, and celebrate its importance in the history of the United States. Page 3 Truman Gets Us Started In the beginning, the area between the Delaware and Hudson rivers, now known as New York City, was inhabited by the Algonquin people. They hunted, fished, and farmed the land, living a peaceful existence until Europeans made their appearance at the beginning of the 16th century. Page 4 The first to arrive was Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano, who sailed up and down the Atlantic coast looking for a route to Asia. He kept going, however, and it wasn’t until 1624 that 30 families from the Dutch West India Company were sent to the Algonquin territory to forge a life.

    Designing out terrorism in New York City How counterterrorism measures influence people’s perceptions of safety and space in New York City Name: Daphne Hobelman Student number: 951215341050 Thesis supervisor: Bram J. Jansen Date: April 2019 MSc International Development Studies Sociology of Development and Change Disaster Studies Counterterrorism measures in New York City 1 Daphne Hobelman Acknowledgements I would like to thank my thesis supervisor dr. Bram J. Jansen for his scientific supervision and all the comments throughout the duration of this thesis. I would also like to thank my family, for their mental and emotional support throughout my stay in the United States of America – and for their positivity regarding this thesis. Especially Chris and Patrick, who made my fieldwork easier by flying over for one week. Finally, I would like to thank Jonathan for the wonderful walks and talks in New York City, and his emotional support throughout my stay. He pushed me to be very pro-active and positive, and urged me to “oil my own wheel”. This thesis would not have been possible without them. Daphne Hobelman All photos used in this thesis are made by the author unless stated otherwise. 2 Counterterrorism measures in New York City 3 Daphne Hobelman Executive summary This thesis research looks into the influence of counterterrorism measures on people’s perceptions of space and safety. Since the 9/11 attacks, all kinds of counterterrorism measures have been implemented in urban spaces. As European cities are implementing counterterrorism measures as well, it is interesting and useful to look at experiences of people in New York City with the counterterrorism measures implemented there, as they have been around for a while.
