New York is a ‘Capitalism City’ and ‘Segregation City’. New York has always been a city of extremes. East Harlem is where it faces the effects of gentrification from southern Manhattan and blocks further access to the upper areas. Currently, rents in the East Harlem district continue to rise, causing East Harlem residents to either leave the area or enter the NYCHA (which provides decent, affordable housing for low- and moderate-income New Yorkers). In this project, we propose improvement plans for NYCHA as a defense against gentrification and to improve the lives of residents.
