Understand how proposed new East Midtown upzoning/air rights transfer rules could destroy the qualities that now make the area one of the world's premier business districts. Computer imagery from SimCenter will illustrate what you may see on this tour a few years from now.
JOIN CNU NYC and The 555 for a Jane Jacobs Centennial Pub Crawl on May 4th, the 100th anniversary of Jane Jacobs’ birthday. We will meet at 7 PM under the arch in Washington Square, and finish by 11 (?) at the White Horse Tavern, a few doors down from Jacobs’ house at 555 Hudson Street. During the walk we will look at the architecture, urbanism, and bars of Greenwich Village—Ground Zero for The Death and Life of Great American Cities. Please contact us at info@cnu.nyc if you have ideas for stops along the way or would like to help lead the tour. A Mystery Guest and Tour Leader will be introduced at the tour.
