In New York City, four iron monkeys, once part of the decor at Riverside Park's Ten Mile River Playground, have been removed to a storage yard on Randall’s Island, a stone's throw from where Robert Moses, the influential yet contentious parks commissioner, once wielded his power. This action followed the resurgence of interest in a segment of Robert Caro’s 1974 biography "The Power Broker," which scrutinizes Moses' urban planning decisions, suggesting the monkeys were a racist affront to the predominantly Black neighborhood. The book accuses Moses of implementing urban planning strategies that discreetly marginalized African American and Puerto Rican communities, including the allegation that he designed low overpasses on the Southern State Parkway to restrict these communities' access via bus to suburban amenities and beaches like Jones Beach. The controversy surrounding the iron monkeys and Moses' broader legacy highlights a complex debate about urban planning's role in shaping racial and social landscapes. However, the article challenges the straightforward interpretation of the monkeys as a symbol of racism. It points out that similar decorations are found in a playground in a predominantly White neighborhood, suggesting a different intent behind their placement. Furthermore, the supposed shackles on the monkeys are speculated to represent the rings children play with in playgrounds, not chains. This interpretation is bolstered by the historical demographic composition of West Harlem during the 1930s, which contradicts the assertion that the playground was situated in a predominantly Black area. The discourse around Moses, including the design of parkway overpasses to potentially limit minority access to certain public spaces, illustrates the intricate ways in which infrastructure can embody and perpetuate social divisions. Yet, this account is met with nuanced perspectives that challenge the simplicity of labeling Moses' actions as solely motivated by racial prejudice. His contributions to New York's public spaces and infrastructure are undeniable, though his legacy remains marred by allegations of racial discrimination. The fate of the monkeys, amidst this reevaluation of Moses' impact on New York City, emphasizes the ongoing dialogue about historical memory, urban planning, and social justice. Their removal from Riverside Park reflects not just a moment of controversy but a broader reconsideration of the symbols we maintain in our public spaces and the histories they represent. #RobertMoses #UrbanPlanning #SocialJustice #NYCHistory #PublicSpaces #ThePowerBroker #Infrastructure #RacialEquity #LegacyReevaluation

Interesting! The Great Saunter event, a 32-mile grand loop walk around the edges Manhattan. Increasingly, with the completion of pathways encircling the island, this kind of trek can become more broadly enabled. (In her piece, "Great Saunter Tips from Decades of Walking Around Manhattan" Sarah Milstein mentions that more segments of established pathways around the edges are falling into place.) Terrific to see the proliferation of these kinds of events, and, in the process, communities building this kind of walking green infrastructure! https://lnkd.in/gpE-C9F5

After City of Rochester , Ville de Paris 🧐😉 How remove an inner loop like a « périphérique » ? "When we were talking about this project a decade ago, it was in economic terms, pure benefit cost: Remove this highway, generate investment, benefits outweigh the costs by more than 2-to-1." Now, the conversation is "much more socially oriented. What impacts have these highways had on communities? What can be done to reverse that? How do we heal wounds and restore trust?" On top of a $75 million, 90,000-square-foot museum expansion completed last summer, 238 apartments, over 100 of which are for people making between 60% to 80% area median income, and 126-room Hampton Inn by Hilton hotel.

I found this picture in an office in Restoration. It is Franklin Thomas, Restoration’s, first President and CEO and Congresswoman Shirley Chisolm. What are they looking at and what are they planning: 1. What does the future economic landscape for our people look like for Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights? 2. How do we build an inclusive political landscape for the Black and Brown agenda for all of Brooklyn? 3. How do we make sure we are represented in corporate board rooms and what does a run for Congress (and President) look like? What do you think?

When one thinks of thriving communities, they often don't contain abundant and hyper-accessible parking. In Cleveland, many people would tell you that Ohio City, Tremont, Detroit Shoreway, University Circle, Little Italy, and Downtown are desirable places to live, work, and play. Cities abroad are beloved for their walkability, historic character, and thriving recreation and amenities. These places have all deprioritized car dependence. Excessive access to parking has plagued American cities for decades. As this article clearly lays out, the argument for reducing car dependence is multi-faceted and is strengthened by the day. I am excited to see how Cleveland can prosper, one less car at a time. S/O to all the colleagues and advocates who contributed to this article and work to create safer and more robust communities every day!
