New York City Places and Spaces

Collected by: Columbia University Libraries

Archived since: Jan, 2010

Description:

A growing collection of websites selected by the Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library staff for web archiving preservation by the Columbia University Libraries' Web Resources Collection Program. Website captures began in 2010 and are ongoing; in 2020, to reflect the collection's evolving subject focus, the collection title was changed to 'New York City Places and Spaces' (from the original 'Avery Library Historic Preservation and Urban Planning'). The collection's principal thematic focus is documenting the evolution of the built environment and public spaces in and around New York City through the interaction of historic preservation efforts and new development projects within urban planning debates. Selected websites are mostly published by non-profit groups or individuals based in the New York City area, including historic preservation groups, neighborhood associations, community development groups, public policy organizations, parks and open space conservancies, and both sponsors and critics of ongoing development projects.

Title: ASAP - Artist Studio Affordability Project, Artist Studio Affordability Project

URL: http://www.artiststudioaffordabilityproject.org/

Description: "As gentrification spreads, we are priced out of neighborhood after neighborhood. Most working artists cannot afford this city's exponentially increasing studio rents: many of us are adjuncts, freelancers, part-time, or otherwise unprotected workers. We all know of fellow artists who have recently lost their spaces. The Artist Studio Affordability Project (ASAP) is an effort to bring this issue to the attention of the public and local politicians. We focus on raising awareness about the crisis of affordable studio space, and on advocating legislation that will protect and expand affordable artist studios."

Title: Audubon Park Historic District

URL: http://www.audubonparkny.com/

Description: "This website, which takes the form of a virtual walking tour, grew out of the successful effort to establish an Audubon Park Historic District on land in northern Manhattan that had once been part of John James Audubon's farm Minniesland. That effort was one of many community-focused initiatives undertaken by a group of people who have since coalesced into the Audubon Park Alliance. The Audubon Park virtual walk--or, actual walk if you live nearby and visit in person--focuses on Audubon Park’s history from about 1841 to 1915 and traces its development from farm to suburb to cityscape."
