How Communitybased Planning Has Challenged The Powerful Real Estate Industry In New York City.Remarkably, Grassrootsbased Community Planning Flourishes In New York Citythe Selfproclaimed Real Estate Capital Of The WorldWith At Least Seventy Community Plans For Different Neighborhoods Throughout The City. Most Of These Were Developed During Fierce Struggles Against Gentrification, Displacement, And Environmental Hazards, And Most Got Little Or No Support From Government. In Fact, Communitybased Plans In New York Far Outnumber The Land Use Plans Produced By Government Agencies. In New York For Sale, Tom Angotti Tells Some Of The Stories Of Community Planning In New York City: How Activists Moved Beyond Simple Protests And Began To Formulate Community Plans To Protect Neighborhoods Against Urban Renewal, Real Estate Megaprojects, Gentrification, And Environmental Hazards. Angotti, Both Observer Of And Longtime Participant In New York Community Planning, Focuses On The Close Relationships Among Community Planning, Political Strategy, And Control Over Land. After Describing The Political Economy Of New York City Real Estate, Its Close Ties To Global Financial Capital, And The Roots Of Community Planning In Social Movements And Community Organizing, Angotti Turns To Specifics. He Tells Of Two Pioneering Plans Forged In Reaction To Urban Renewal Plans (Including The First Community Plan In The City, The 1961 Cooper Square Alternate Plana Response To A Robert Moses Urban Renewal Scheme); Struggles For Environmental Justice, Including Battles Over Incinerators, Sludge, And Garbage; Plans Officially Adopted By The City; And Plans Dominated By Powerful Real Estate Interests.
