Directions for Planning Sustainable Cities and Neighborhoods
Abstract This chapter summarises the conclusions reached (Chaps. 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 and 11 ) on addressing of the Sustainable City Principles (SCPs) for nine case study New York neighborhoods (over the three boroughs). There are (by borough): Manhattan (Lower East Side, Greenwich Village, and, Hell’s Kitchen); Brooklyn (DUMBO, Brooklyn Downtown, and Greenpoint); and Queens (Astoria, Jackson Heights, and Long Island City). The SCPs examined were: Heritage Protection; Housing Provision: and, Open Spaces Allocation. Reference is also made to: Chap. 1 (global changes and implications for cities); and, Chap. 2 (New York planning history; selection of SCPs; and, nomination of case study neighborhoods). The Chapter firstly summarizes and draws conclusions on the extent the City Council (and the community) was addressing SCPs in planning neighborhoods. Having summarized and drawn conclusions on this planning, the lessons learned from these conclusions for New York are then addressed. With these lessons, planning for sustainable cities anywhere is addressed (with references to futurists in Chap. 1 and planning theorists in Chap. 2 ).
