Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These volumes comprise New York's official "Master Plan," enormous and far-reaching in scope but designed for the speediest possible implementation. The independent Regional Plan Association has called it "the first comprehensive plan for New York City."Like any bold and innovative undertaking, the proposals of the plan have caused much controversy and even disruption since their first public presentation in November 1969. Reactions have ranged from high praise as "a strong and extremely significant document" to charges of being "merely a listing of problems rather than solutions" and to chants of "damn the masters' plan." From the point of view of the "New York Times, " the Master Plan is "in part one more call, a particularly urgent and persuasive one, for the unshackling of the cities by the states and a reordering of national priorities."These proposals are addressed to the people of New York City (and involve, by extension, the survival of "all" large metropolitan centers) as well as to the planning community. It is "not" a plan for a futuramic year 2000 but is concerned rather with current, key problems now facing the city: it stressed objectives, goals, methods, and techniques. It is a social document as well as a physical consideration of people's needs. There is as much concern with the solution of drug addiction and other social dilemmas, as there is with blueprints and data control techniques to resolve problems.Each of the volumes is profusely illustrated with black-and-white photographs and full-color maps and charts (in all, there are 200 maps, 800 photographs, 750 charts). Volume 1, "Critical Issues, " introduces and summarizes all the main recommendations contained in the subsequent volumes. It contains an atlas of New York City, with numerous multicolored maps; a photo essay of historical New York; a sociological summation of New York's past and its present; a plan for the city which derives from human and social needs rather than physical and topographical reconstruction as the central program. In this sense, the first and subsequent volumes are a unique approach to city planning. There are no monorail, geodesic, archigram, or other "world's fair" conceptions; if it has a bias, the bias is toward an effective and realistic approach, to be put into practice as soon as possible.The literary draftsman of "Critical Issues" was William H. Whyte, author of "The Organization Man" and the more recent book "The Last Landscape." He devoted 15 months to the job of writing the 90,000-word design for better living in New York.Volumes 2 through 6 pertain to each of the five boroughs of New York: Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, the Bronx, and Manhattan. Each work treats in great detail recommendations for the particular borough. Each borough is thoroughly mapped by aerial and conventional cartography. A historical introduction of each is sketched, including subplanning districts within the borough. From that point the planners move to a description of the assets and liabilities of each district. Traditional concern with land-use, housing, zoning, and transportation are discussed fully; recommendations concerning job training, community action, education, health, and recreation are made within the actual context of the physical and social environments.

Download or read book Imaging the City written by Jr. Warner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-17 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planners face a controversial task because their professional role requires them to be spokespersons for the public interest. In a welter of conflicting pictures and voices, how might the public interest be discovered? Once identified, how might it be expressed so that competing publics attend to it? There are no easy answers, but the experience of planners today suggests ways of working and innovations of promise.The focus on planning practice prompted the editors to analyze images that are now at work in our cities. For Vale and Warner, all city design and constructions offer material that people should include in images of their environment. The built and building city are part of the experience of all city dwellers; it is theirs to incorporate, interpret, or ignore. Essays included in this text trace the interplay between physical objects of planners and architects and the social experience and outlooks of image makers and their audiences.Imaging the City explores urban image making from civic boosterism of medieval cities to iconic imagery of Times Square. Vale and Warner bring together urban historians, geographers, city planners, architects, and cultural commentators to analyze the creation of urban imagery from the signature skyscrapers of Kuala Lumpur to the re-creation of the South Bronx and the use of city images in film, literature, television, and on the Internet. Urban dwellers, urban planners, architects, municipal officials, sociologists, urban historians - all will perceive their worlds with a heightened sense of awareness after reading this book.

Download or read book The Invention of Public Space written by Mariana Mogilevich and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interplay of psychology, design, and politics in experiments with urban open space As suburbanization, racial conflict, and the consequences of urban renewal threatened New York City with “urban crisis,” the administration of Mayor John V. Lindsay (1966–1973) experimented with a broad array of projects in open spaces to affirm the value of city life. Mariana Mogilevich provides a fascinating history of a watershed moment when designers, government administrators, and residents sought to remake the city in the image of a diverse, free, and democratic society. New pedestrian malls, residential plazas, playgrounds in vacant lots, and parks on postindustrial waterfronts promised everyday spaces for play, social interaction, and participation in the life of the city. Whereas designers had long created urban spaces for a broad amorphous public, Mogilevich demonstrates how political pressures and the influence of the psychological sciences led them to a new conception of public space that included diverse publics and encouraged individual flourishing. Drawing on extensive archival research, site work, interviews, and the analysis of film and photographs, The Invention of Public Space considers familiar figures, such as William H. Whyte and Jane Jacobs, in a new light and foregrounds the important work of landscape architects Paul Friedberg and Lawrence Halprin and the architects of New York City’s Urban Design Group. The Invention of Public Space brings together psychology, politics, and design to uncover a critical moment of transformation in our understanding of city life and reveals the emergence of a concept of public space that remains today a powerful, if unrealized, aspiration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguing that planning in practice is far more complicated than historians usually depict, the authors examine closely the everyday social, political, economic, ideological, bureaucratic, and environmental contexts in which planning has occurred. In so doing, they redefine the nature of planning practice, expanding the range of actors and actions that we understand to have shaped urban development.
