Cetraruddy: A Case Study
Through New York’s building boom, Staten Island has largely been left on the sidelines. But CetraRuddy Architecture sees wide opportunity in the borough, and has a multifaceted plan. Residents could find new homes when a community—Staten Island City—is constructed on the west shore near the Goethals Bridge. With the installation of 150,000 units in this new neighborhood, Staten Island’s housing stock would increase by 38%. Moving eastward, CetraRuddy proposes a tech campus and cultural hub within the renovated Fresh Kills Park. As far as transportation, a rail line along the northern and western parts of the island could be revitalized, increasing density along station stops. And with increased ferry service, Staten Island could start to feel

    Femingdon Park Demographic Analysis

    Flemingdon Park is located in the North York region of Toronto. It is home to approximately 22,000 residents mainly from foreign places. This collective population accounts for approximately 0.8% of Toronto’s total population. This paper will thoroughly cover the diverse demographics of Toronto’s “Apartment City.” The conclusions will be drawn through strategically chosen features of the community’s demographics in relation to planning principles. Aspects that will be touched upon will include; age, gender, ethnicity/immigration and income in reference to dwelling types. By exploring such facets of the community, one will be able to depict the demographics of Flemingdon Park, thus the planning ideals as well. Furthermore, these numbers will then allow us to make a comparison between the City of Toronto as a whole and Flemingdon as a region. Careful analysis and interpretation of these sets of data will lead to a further understanding of Flemingdon and its social and developmental components. This information will give insight into the methodology and reasoning behind specific planning decisions. We will begin this study by examining the age groups within the neighbourhood, and then strategically progress and conclude with more specific findings with reference from Statistics Canada.…

    Gentrification of Class Warfare in East Harlem

    There has been a tremendous change in East Harlem between class warfare and gentrification. East Harlem is one more economic factor to the city’s wealth per capita since the attack of September 11, 2000. It is Manhattan’s last remaining development and it is on the agenda of the tax revenue of our government. East Harlem has become a profit driven capitalism. Gentrification enforces capitalism, it does not separate people, it does not go against race, poor and the working class, it wages war on the poor and the working-class.…

    The Pros And Cons Of Gentrification

    Gentrification, when wealthy individuals buy and renovate houses in poor neighborhoods, a word often associated with the displacement of poor residents of run-down urban neighborhoods. Gentrification has its pro’s and con’s, so naturally the supporters list the positives, while non-supporters do the opposite. In “Go Forth and Gentrify?” by Dashka Slater, the author explores the positives of gentrification for the community, newcomers, and longtime residents. Dashka Slater, a journalist who often appears in the New York Times, Sierra, and San Francisco Magazine. Mother Jones, a liberal magazine, published “Go Forth and Gentrify” in July 2007 encouraging home buyers to buy houses in poor urban neighborhoods. During this time housing prices were decreasing and the housing bubble was about to burst. Many families lost their homes to foreclosure and had nowhere to go. As a suggestion, Slater urges readers that it is alright to move into a poor neighborhood because the home buyer will positively impact the neighborhood.…

    European Cities Influence

    The European Colonial period lasted from the 16th century to the early 20th century; European powers such as France and England established colonies throughout the American homeland, and in other geographical locations such as Asia and Africa. Since, these European settlers were the ones who founded our globally recognized cities today, obviously, they had a tremendous influence on the architectural design. The most populated newfound American cities such as Boston, Philadelphia, and New York’s derivation were architecturally focused on human welfare and economics. The baseline of each of these modern-day economic powerhouse cities today originated from the genius and innovative ideals of the European settlers…

    Brooklyn Heights Gentrification

    Brooklyn Heights Gentrification

    This gentrification began with the onset of the redevelopment of the outlying areas surrounding its borders. Wall Street bankers, now finding themselves to be in a new class of wealthy, flocked to this exclusive area. Once again, Brooklyn Heights was more financially out of reach for lower income residents than ever before. For a family who once dreamed of living close to New York City and not out in the suburbs, Brooklyn Heights was no longer an option, even for many two income families. With the onslaught of the very wealthy and the accompanying increase in property values, local “mom and pop” stores which were mainstays for the locals over the course of many years were unable to afford their rent. Big businesses, such as The Gap, Barnes and Noble and CVS moved in to cater to the masses in the surrounding newly-developed neighborhoods now containing high-rise apartment buildings and scores of new residents. This type of gentrification seems to be contradictory to the desires of the class of people who inhabit the exclusive blocks of the historical district that one knows as Brooklyn Heights (Davidson, 2012).…

    Midtown Detroit

    Housing is crumbling. There are 150,000 vacant or abandoned buildings. In some areas, just one or two houses keep entire blocks from reverting to grasslands. Separated by as little as a city block, the new Detroit and the rest of Detroit feel like two completely different cities – physically close, far apart in everything else: education, income, outlook on their future.…

    Destruction Of The Farm Colony

    Destruction Of The Farm Colony

    Since the Farm Colony’s closing back in 1975, many different ideas were thrown around over what the nearly one hundred acre campus should be turned into. Some Staten Islanders see today’s farm colony as a place of hopeless disrepair, where graffiti artists and vandals can wander in peace (Dunlap 2). On the other hand, some view the abandoned colony as a historical landmark that should not be touched. However, the first demolition began in 1999, when a city councilman persuaded City hall to allow for one of the historical dormitories to be destroyed due to safety hazards. (Dunlap 2) The plan was supposed to continue with the demolition of all of the farm colony buildings, however that changed this past January when a new idea came to fruition.…

    Gentrification Argumentative Essay

    What drives gentrification? (2014). This article is based on a speech at a recent ISO forum in Brooklyn, New York addressing the roots of gentrification and it responded on how residents of big cities everywhere face the effects of gentrification, as long-time residents are pushed out of neighborhoods due to rising rents and housing costs and other changes. The author provided an objective analysis from the perspective of the working class of New York and of all other cities undergoing gentrification by examining what appears to be two contradictory outcomes of gentrification: the "improvement" of a neighborhood on the one hand and the displacement of its long-time residents on the other. Flores also analyzed the misconception between geographers David Levy whose theory explains gentrification as flowing from the consumer preferences of a new, youthful, white-collar middle class that wishes to change from a suburban to an urban lifestyle and Late Neil Smith counterposes Levy 's theory with a class perspective by contrasting the owners of capital intent on gentrifying and developing a neighborhood having a lot more "consumer’s choice" about which neighborhoods they want to devour, and the kind of housing and other facilities they produce for the rest of us to…

    Wild Water Gets Soaked

    I can surely state that New Jersey shore is a way much better place to relax, then it is in NY shores, simply because I did have a chance to see the both. NY shore is, obviously, more crowded, whereas NJ is less, and since the distance between the two is not so big, families would rather choose quite, not crowded location. NY and Jersey states are high dense areas, so the population is not an issue; conversely, growing trend is the issue to fight. An educated guess is that this precise fact initialized a development of condominiums. So, now, Salernos will have to come up with something to be able to sustain and to progress.…
