1 August 2015 Public Life in NYC s Plazas
2 One City 8.5 Million Residents 61 Plazas How does reclaimed street space - in the shape of NYC plazas -»» impact public life?
3 Presentation Purpose This presentation includes an update on the NYC plaza program, using data from the report Public Life & Urban Justice in NYC s Plazas by Gehl Studio and the J. Max Bond Center on Design for the Just City (JMBC)
4 Project Purpose.
5 Cities are the problem solvers and the centers of innovation. As Mayors, we are on the front lines. It is our responsibility to create more opportunities for our citizens and more equitable cities. Bill de Blasio, Mayor of the City of New York
6 The economic impact of the plazas is measured. But what is the social impact? Increased retail sales +172% on Pearl Street, Brooklyn (compared to 18% borough wide) Decreased commercial vacancy rates 49% after Union Square was extended for pedestrians and cyclists Measuring the Street: New Metrics for 21st Century Streets 1
7 What happens when all kinds of people feel invited, welcomed, and safe in new public spaces?
8 What decisions lead to more equitable public spaces? $ $ $ $ $ How do we prioritize investments in the public realm? (where and when) How do we decide on a specific design and programming interventions? (what) To begin to answer these questions, we need to understand who feels invited and why.
9 The NYC Plaza Program is the perfect place to begin to examine some of these questions There are 61 plazas across the city in economically diverse neighborhoods - providing the context for a true research experiment to take place. The plazas were developed as interim projects, and are easily changed - providing the opportunity for experimentation. NYC s landscape and transportation network provide the infrastructure needed for social mixing.
10 The NYC Plaza Program is the perfect place to begin to examine some of these questions = There are more plazas planned, and there is an opportunity to use our findings to improve existing and new plazas People are there - meaning that we can study the impacts without a huge investment
11 NYC Plaza Context.
12 NYC Plaza Program In the past 7 years 61 plazas have been created to transform 40,000 square feet of underused streets into vibrant, social public spaces, and help ensure that all New Yorkers live within a 10-minute walk of quality open space.
13 Pearl Street Triangle Plaza, DUMBO Photo Credit: DOT NYC Plaza Program. NYC DOT funds a limited number of interim plaza projects per year. Non-profits and local community groups can apply for the right to receive DOT funding. DOT partners with community groups that commit to operate, maintain, and manage the plazas.

15 The research.
16 Gehl PSPL Methodology is based on two core indicators: JMBC The Just City Methodology, is based on eleven core indicators: Public Space Public Life Urban Justice How can we mesh these indicators together to study connections between public life, public space, and urban (social and spatial) justice? Equity Access Choice Connectivity Health & Wellbeing Diversity Ownership Participation Beauty Inclusion/ Belonging Creative Innovation How can we understand who benefits from new public spaces? Gehl Studio and the J. Max Bond Center on Design for the Just City partnered up to study public life, public space, and urban justice.
17 7 Plazas Gehl Studio and the JMBC collected data on 7 Plazas Manhattan Flatiron District Plaza Meatpacking District Plaza Queens Diversity Plaza Corona Plaza Brooklyn Putnam Plaza Zion Triangle New Lots Triangle New Plazas: Areas Underserved by Open Space: Next Generation World Class Streets, Plazas:
18 Data and Survey Methods. Data was collected at the Census tract level within the half-mile buffer around the plaza 1.Desktop Research Surveys were done on a weekday and weekend day, between 8am-8pm, in October Observational Surveys 489 surveys were collected. Surveys were done on a weekday and weekend day, between 8am-8pm, in October Intercept Surveys 4.Interviews with Plaza Managers

57 How do the plazas perform... How do the plazas perform?»» public life»» public space»» socio-demographic mixing 0238
58 Key findings 75% of the outer-borough plazas recognize or know more people since the plaza opened 67% said the plaza increased time spent outside 1. People are using the plazas with pedestrian peaks in afternoons and more stickiness on weekends, which indicates plazas are used mainly for optional activities 2. People are meeting each other Outer-borough plazas have more local and frequent users and correlate with higher social interactions and recognition 3. Those earning less than $50,000 were much more likely to make new connections. They also visit most frequently and are over-represented compared to neighborhood surroundings 4. People are spending more time outside, with the highest increase in Queens plazas that most severely lack open space
59 Key findings 67% felt a sense of ownership across all 7 plazas 72% of visitors to outerborough plazas were local 67% visited daily or weekly Corona has only 17% of the Flatiron plaza budget 5. People feel a sense of ownership and stewardship even if only 3% across the board participated in planning meetings for the plazas 6. The majority of visitors are locals, especially in the outerborough plazas, and locals are more likely to make new social connections 7. People visit their plazas frequently and rates are higher at plazas where visitors are local 8. Plazas do a lot for a little, especially in Queens plazas where budgets do not correlate to level of use
60 Key findings 66% walk to the plaza 4.7% of plaza visitors were under 15 years old 66% reported an increased feeling of safety 87% said the plaza increased the aesthetics of the area 9. Most people walk to the plazas and the second most common way to get there is public transportation 10. Children are underrepresented and few play activities were registered 11. Plazas increase the feeling of safety and typically are well lit into the evenings 12. Plazas have improved the aesthetics of the area with people noting planters and furniture as the biggest contributors
61 Recommendations and Next Steps
62 Recommendations»» Incorporate people and behavior metrics (including urban justice indicators) into citywide planning initiatives»» Increase plaza funding and operational support (Equity)»» Align support for new and existing plazas with the Mayor s affordable housing agenda (Access)»» Identify how plazas can further reduce traffic crashes and support Vision Zero (Connectivity; Safety)»» Leverage plaza support and creation with DOHMH Building Healthy Communities initiatives (Health & Wellbeing)»» Provide additional support to plazas to diversify programming and foster civic engagement (Inclusion/Belonging;Participation)
63 Next Steps: The Experiment
64 More socioeconomically diverse plazas through invitations and programs for children.? What are the design and program signals that invite children and families to spend time in the plazas? How might we determine if more children in a place fosters greater interaction among different socioeconomic groups?
65 We know where you live matters. A recent study by the economist Raj Chetty shows that the neighborhoods kids grow up in play a major role in upward mobility. And the longer they live in these neighborhoods, the bigger the impact.
66 We know where you live matters. Upward mobility is linked to neighborhoods with:»» elementary schools with higher test scores»» a higher share of two-parent families»» greater levels of involvement in civic and religious groups (social capital)»» more residential integration of affluent, middle-class and poor families»» less sprawl (shorter commutes) And the longer they live in these neighborhoods, the bigger the impact.»»
67 We also know that simply interacting with different types of people in public space has an impact on your life.
68 What is social mixing in the public realm? Civic Mixing No Contact Passive Contact Chance Contact Familiar Stranger Friends
