Three goals of this Project:

• How does development happen?
• What scale should we look at when we study causes and changes?
• What does the economic history of one block in New York City look like?

1. Devolpment happens on lost of things but 2 main reasons would be peoples wants and needs as well as the preservation of that certain area. Knowing what people want and or need in their city helps create a unified nehiborhood where everyone will get along and grow with each other. Now for preservation this can apply to anything of historical value, such as an old building or a monument. Stuff like this needs to be taking into consideration when you are looking at devloping a new area.
2. What scale should we look at when we study causes and changes? Two major scales that help us gage that kind of data would be on the Macro and Micro scale. The Macro scale which would cover a whole city or region helps us get an idea of the population and economic patterns such as tech groth and or creative industries. While the micro scale covers a specific block or property this helps us understand the direct impact of individual development projects such as changes in property values, demographics of certain areas, and business types.
3. What does the economic history of one block in New York City look like, and my answer to this would be within the Green Street working paper .

Here is a link about the economic history of Greene Street:
