Stuyvesant Town and the Loss of Middle-Class Neighborhoods

de Rachael A. Woldoff, Lisa M. Morrison, Michael R. Glass ...

On an average morning in the tree-lined parks, plazas, and play-areas of Manhattan’s Stuyvesant Town housing development, birds chirp as early risers dash off to work, elderly residents enjoy a peaceful morning stroll, and flocks of parents usher their children to school. It seems an unlikely location for conflict and strife, yet this eighteen-block area, initially planned as middle-class ... Leer más

The cars simply vanished. It was a moment of revelation: the highway had ... Leer más
