Astoria and Sustainable City Principles
Abstract This chapter aims to determine the extent that the planning of the Astoria neighborhood addresses Sustainable City Principles (SCPs). Astoria is one of three selected case study Queens’ neighborhoods (of nine studied neighborhoods over three New York boroughs). The chapter firstly provides a background to Astoria, 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 Astoria is then examined using the three SCPs as a guide The Astoria neighborhood needs and issues are then examined (under the three SCPs). This examination is centered on the annual profile report completed by the Queens Community Board 1 (containing Astoria) for the City Council. An Astoria case study redevelopment project (e.g. Astoria Cove and Hallets Point Redevelopments) 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 Astoria addresses the SCPs. With this conclusion, it’s noted that comments are made in the final chapter (after examining all neighborhoods) on the extent neighborhood planning in New York addresses SCPs. It is 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 ).
