- Description
- Having examined global changes and the implications of these changes on the US and New York, this chapter looks at New York down to the neighborhood level. The chapter also introduces Sustainable City Principles (SCPs). While Chap. 1 reviewed futurists’ views on global changes, this chapter introduces nine urban theorists and reviews their contributions to neighborhood planning (1960s–2017). Key New York strategic planning and planning guideline documents (especially applicable to neighborhoods and issues such as housing) are then reviewed. After this review, three SCPs are selected to be applied to New York neighborhoods in subsequent chapters. These SCPs are: (1) Heritage Protection; (2) Housing Provision; and, Open Spaces Allocation. Backgrounds to the three SCPs at the neighborhood development level are then reviewed. With this background, nine New York case study neighborhoods over three boroughs are selected as follows (by borough): Manhattan (Lower East Side, Greenwich Village, and, Hell’s Kitchen); Brooklyn (DUMBO, Brooklyn Downtown, and Greenpoint); and Queens (Astoria, Jackson Heights, and Long Island City). The results of addressing the SCPs for each neighborhood will be summarized at the end of each chapter. Finally, it’s noted, that an overview on addressing the three SCPs for the nine neighborhoods will be presented in Chap. 12 (Directions for Sustainable Cities and Neighborhoods).
