East Harlem - an interwoven fabric of movements, reflections and interactions at various levels; where the rhythms of the street and a new urban edge mirror the diversity and lifestyles of the resident ethnic groups; the park mirrors the city and urban surfaces are redefined.
A new urban center between 106th and 110th Streets - a social space that adapts to many uses at different times across several seasons supported by a new subway station, a museum, and an art magazine association at St. Nicholas Square; a new entrance to Central Park and a multimedia music center at Duke Ellington Plaza; a rain forest, a media arts school, and a cultural library along the Arts Corridor. Active spaces - synchronizing activities and people. Active spaces - linking at various scales, Arts Corridor to community, community to the world, through existing regional and global connections. The highway, the railroad, the subway, the main street, the park together with restaurants, cafes, clubs, galleries, markets - bringing people, jobs and educational opportunities to East Harlem and promoting cross-cultural exchanges necessary for growth in all directions.
A unified neighborhood where paradise is not sought on the outside but recreated and redefined on the inside through social services, recreational facilities and community gardens which bring the residents together.
