Greenwich Village and Sustainable City Principles
Abstract This chapter aims to determine the extent that the planning of the Greenwich Village neighborhood addresses Sustainable City Principles (SCPs). Greenwich Village is one of three selected case study Manhattan neighborhoods (of nine studied neighborhoods over three New York boroughs). The chapter firstly provides a background to Greenwich Village, including results of an on-ground author survey of the neighborhood. Three key Sustainable City Principles (SCPs) (as adopted in Chap. 2 ) are then introduced, including: Heritage Protection; Housing Provision: and, Open Spaces Allocation. Current development in Greenwich Village is then examined using the three SCPs as a guide The Greenwich Village neighborhood needs and issues are then examined (under the three SCPs). This examination is centered on the annual profile report completed by the Manhattan Community Board 2 (containing Greenwich Village) for the City Council. A Greenwich Village case study redevelopment project (e.g. Hudson Square) is then selected. The SCPs are addressed for this case study and conclusions drawn. Finally, an overall conclusion is drawn on the extent that the planning of Greenwich Village addresses the SCPs. With this conclusion, its noted comments are made in the final chapter (after examining all neighborhoods) on the extent neighborhood planning in New York addresses SCPs. It’s also noted that the final chapter will comment on neighborhood planning addressing SCPs in any city or urban area (also referencing futurists and planning theorists as introduced respectively in Chaps. 1 and 2 ).
