Abstract:
|
Battery Park City residents' debates over redevelopment plans for the adjacent World Trade Center site illustrate ways in which the design of physical spaces affects social relations. In two cases, residents took surprising positions (opposing covering a highway with green space, and supporting plans for a tourist bus depot when it was built near their homes, but opposing it if it was further away) that can only be understood by appreciating the social role of concrete elements like neighborhood design and physical barriers. |
