Rivera to the crowd of New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) residents and staff, Pathways for Youth staff, and community leaders who packed the old gymnasium at the Castle Hill Houses Community Center on March 6, 2003. “But that’s not the way that NYCHA does business,” he announced, to cheers and a round of applause. To be sure, all such fears were laid to rest at a festive Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the Bronx development’s newly renovated Community Center that cold, snowy morning.

  • LOWLINE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Karp Strategies with Replace Urban Studio Executive Summary
    LOWLINE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Karp Strategies with rePlace Urban Studio Executive Summary The Lowline is a plan to build a green public space in an abandoned underground trolley terminal in the Lower East Side. Innovative solar technology will bring sunlight below ground into this one acre site. The Lowline collaborated with a consultant team to conduct focused community engagement of Lower East Side residents, businesses, and organizations from October 2016 through June 2017. This team held over 15 outreach events, including large public workshops, small focus groups, and youth training sessions, and deployed a digital platform to collect feedback from those who could not attend in person. At the conclusion of this phase of outreach, over 108,860 people directly engaged with the Lowline via these outreach activities and the Lowline lab. The primary findings that emerged from this work reveal that participants envision the future site as: a community-driven, inclusive, and free space; a space with many green and natural elements that can offer an oasis from the streets above; and a place for technological and environmental education, with a focus on youth empowerment. Participants also want to continue to have a say in the Lowline’s future development, programming, and operations.

  • The Slave Galleries Restoration Project Case Study: St. Augustine's
    The Slave Galleries Restoration Project Case Study: St. Augustine’s Episcopal Church and the Lower East Side Tenement Museum PREFACE BY ANIMATING DEMOCRACY The Slave Galleries Restoration Project points to the power of history—and particularly the historic site—as a catalyst for exploring contemporary issues. The ethnically diverse neighorhood of the Lower East Side of Manhattan has been created by the shifts and tensions of generations of immigrants living alongside American-born racial minorities. Oppression, domination of others, and efforts toward self-determination have alternated over time, as various groups have been used and exploited by other groups—some gaining a central role in the neighborhood, with THE SLAVE GALLERIES RESTORATION PROJECT CASE STUDY others remaining at the margins. Conflicts today on the Lower East Side continue over material resources like housing and schools as well as how groups are represented in the neighborhood’s history. The Slave Galleries Project was a collaboration between St. Augustine’s Episcopal Church and the Lower East Side Tenement Museum to restore and interpret the two slave galleries located in the church, cramped rooms where African American congregants were segregated during the nineteenth century. The project brought together community preservationists—leaders representing African American, Asian, Latino, Jewish, and other ethnic and religious groups— with scholars and preservationists to help restore and interpret the slave galleries as a catalyst for dialogue within the community. Over a year’s time, guided by two dialogue professionals experienced in intergroup relations, community preservationists talked first among themselves about issues of marginalization on the Lower East Side. They explored the meaning and use of the slave galleries, a powerful artifact of the history of segregation, as a space for dialogue for the larger Lower East Side community.
