Looking down 100th Street from Central Park West: On the north side what Jane loved—tenements, store fronts, a remnant of the old neighborhood where the ghosts of Billie Holiday, James Weldon Johnson, and Arthuro Schomberg still hover. On the south side—what Moses wrought—towering Park West Village with Le Corbusier the spectral presence. Question (with sixty years hindsight): the West Side lives and thrives because of or in spite of urban renewal? We’ll walk 100th Street and nearby streets taking into consideration what urban renewal did and did not deliver in regard to low and moderate income housing, mixed-use development, and neighborhood vitality.
