Context Approach Outcomes

Project Context:

The New York City Department of City Planning (DCP) requested that the Urban Land Institute’s New York District Council (ULI New York) convene a panel of diverse experts to strategize a process for large-scale, mixed use development surrounding the Broadway Junction New York City subway station complex. The 20 block study area is characterized by elevated infrastructure and underutilized parcels of land, resulting in poor vehicular flows and dangerous pedestrian intersections. Zoning for light manufacturing discourages development, promotes vacant lots, and disincentivizes street and business activity.
