Summary
This walking tour explores how a single rezoning plan transformed both an avenue and its surrounding streets in Harlem. The plan emerged from grassroots leadership operating under the direction of then Manhattan Borough President C. Virginia Fields - a local quasi-governmental role with only advisory power over rezoning applications - rather than from outside developers. As we walk, we'll examine how this initiative marked a significant break from the historical use of underdevelopment as a protective barrier against change, particularly notable because this new approach came from within the community's own leadership. The tour highlights how community leaders chose to catalyze change by adopting new models to reimagine Harlem's future.
