369 / Osman Ural: A New "Square Deal": For the "Soul" of East Harlem's Social Housing Projects

Submission #369 | Osman Ural: A New "Square Deal": For the "Soul" of East Harlem's Social Housing Projects — “The location of the proposal is in East Harlem, a project called the King Towers. This neighborhood has major issues with crime, air quality, and poverty, all while existing at the corner of Central Park - literally the spatial realization of social inequality.

The single large public space also makes a proposal more flexible to implement.”
