This article raises the issue of setting up and developing urban parks on islands which are situated around New York’s borough of Manhattan. Among the principal consequences are an improved balance of developed green spaces in the city and the emergence of attractive public places with a variety of functions and high-quality design solutions. As for the urban landscape, interesting relations are created with respect to views of the unique silhouette of the city, and in particular of Manhattan.

Objective: To determine the role of racial background, public health initiatives, and residence on the prevalence of orofacial clefts (OFCs) in New York City (NYC). Design/Methods: Retrospective review of OFC cases from the New York State Congenital Malformations Registry. Patients/Participants: Patients born with an OFC and all live births to mothers residing in NYC between 1983 and 2010. Main Outcome Measures: Orofacial cleft birth prevalence by cleft type, race, and borough of maternal residence for each year and by time period around the implementation of public health interventions including folate supplementation. Results: A total of 3557 cases were reviewed. The prevalence remained stable for cleft palate and cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL ± P) in sequential time periods of the study. Among CL ± P cases, cleft lip prevalence decreased early in the study compared to increases in cleft lip and palate prevalence. For most years, the prevalence of OFCs was lower among African Americans than whites. A total of 12% to 26% of mothers in 4 of the NYC boroughs deliver outside of their borough of residence, choosing to give birth in Manhattan most often. No difference in OFC prevalence was shown in any of the 5 NYC boroughs. Conclusions: The period prevalence remained relatively stable during the time periods before and after the implementation of folate supplementation for OFCs in NYC. Prevalence of OFC subtypes was lower for most time periods during this study among African Americans compared to whites. Several factors may explain the choice of birthplace outside of the mother’s borough of residence.

For-hire vehicle trips in the five boroughs of New York City from 2014 to 2017 increased by 82 million annually (46%). This paper describes how factor analysis and cluster analysis were used to create a typology that was applied to quantify how usage patterns have evolved in different types of neighborhood. Having surged 40-fold, ridesourcing trips originating in the outer boroughs now constitute 56% of the overall market. Many of the outer borough neighborhoods in which ridesourcing trips originated are home to minority, relatively low-income populations with low car ownership rates. It is possible that these trips in the outer boroughs are being taken by local residents to fill gaps in mobility services, as these locations are less well-served by public transportation and other for-hire vehicles such as yellow taxis. The surge in ridesourcing trips in the outer boroughs is important for three reasons. First, if ridesourcing is being used to provide desired levels of accessibility by outer borough residents, having this need filled by for-profit entities with notoriously variable pricing structures could have long-term consequences for transportation equity. Second, if the trips represent induced travel, the associated externalities will negatively affect vehicle emissions, greenhouse gas emissions, and transportation safety. Third, local policy makers need to be aware of the dynamics unfolding in the outer boroughs because regulations that have been adopted to reduce congestion currently only apply to trips originating in Manhattan. Moreover, all stakeholders should reassess how disruptive transportation technology companies are regulated with respect to data sharing.

Our research objective was to determine which environmental and social factors were predictive of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) case and death rates in New York City (NYC), the original epicenter of the pandemic in the US, and any differential impacts among the boroughs. Data from various sources on the demographic, health, and environmental characteristics for NYC zip codes, neighborhoods, and boroughs were analyzed along with NYC government’s reported case and death rates by zip code. At the time of analysis, the Bronx had the highest COVID-19 case and death rates, while Manhattan had the lowest rates. Significant predictors of a higher COVID-19 case rate were determined to be proportion of residents aged 65 years plus; proportion of residents under 65 years with a disability; proportion of White residents; proportion of residents without health insurance; number of grocery stores; and a higher ozone level. For COVID-19 death rates, predictors include proportion of residents aged 65 years plus; proportion of residents who are not US citizens; proportion on food stamps; proportion of White residents; proportion of residents under 65 years without health insurance; and a higher level of ozone. Results across boroughs were mixed, which highlights the unique demographic, socioeconomic, and community characteristics of each borough. To reduce COVID-19 inequities, it is vital that the NYC government center the environmental and social determinants of health in policies and community-engaged interventions adapted to each borough.

Taxi and Uber are an imperative transportation mode in New York City (NYC). This paper investigates the spatiotemporal distribution of pickups of medallion taxi (Yellow), Street Hail Livery Service taxi (Green), and Uber services in NYC, within the five boroughs: Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. Regression Models and Machine Learning algorithms such as XGboost and Random Forest are used to predict the ridership of taxis and Uber dataset combined in NYC, given a time window of one-hour and locations within zip-code areas. The dataset consisting of over 90 million trips within the period April-September 2014, being Yellow with 86% the most used in the city, followed by Green with 9% and Uber with 5%. In outer boroughs, the number of pickups is 12.9 million (14%), while 77.9 million (86%) were made in Manhattan only. Yellow is the predominant option in Manhattan and Queens, while Green is preferred in Brooklyn and Bronx. In Staten Island, the market is shared between the three services. However, Uber presents a highly rising trend of 81% in Manhattan and 145% in outer boroughs during the analysis period. The regression model XGboost performed best because of its exceptional capacity to catch complex feature dependencies. The XGboost model accomplished an estimation of 38.51 for RMSE and 0.97 for R^2. This model could present valuable insights to taxi companies, decision-makers, and city planners in responding to questions, e.g., how to situate taxis where they are generally required, understand how ridership shifts over time, and the total number of taxis needed to dispatch in order to meet de the demand.

This practice report describes a Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) exchange between academic writing students at the University of the Bahamas (UB) and English Language Learners (ELLs) at the Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC) of the City University of New York (CUNY). While COIL projects and other classroom virtual exchanges between Western and non-Western institutions have often been construed as tools to introduce cultural and linguistic diversity into Western classrooms, this study shows that the opposite is also possible. In our project, a diverse, largely immigrant group of postsecondary students in New York City participated in an intercultural exchange with a more culturally and linguistically homogeneous student group in The Bahamas. The study details the digital media used to initiate the virtual exchange and the specifics of the assignment sequences, including how the authors worked with the springboard text read by both classes (that is, Richard Rodriguez’s (1978) noted literacy autobiography ‘The Achievement of Desire’, where he describes his academic ambitions as the child of Mexican immigrants to the United States).

ABSTRACTBackground: The objective of the study was to model urban evacuation into surrounding communities after the detonation of an improvised nuclear device (IND) to assist rural and suburban planners in understanding and effectively planning to address the effects of population surges.Methods: Researchers developed parameters for how far evacuees would travel to escape disasters and factors that would influence choice of destination from studies of historical evacuations, surveys of citizens' evacuation intentions in hypothetical disasters, and semistructured interviews with key informants and emergency preparedness experts. Those parameters became the inputs to a “push-pull” model of how many people would flee in the 4 scenarios and where they would go.Results: The expanded model predicted significant population movements from the New York City borough of Manhattan and counties within 20 km of Manhattan to counties within a 150-mi radius of the assumed IND detonation. It also predicted that even in some communities located far from Manhattan, arriving evacuees would increase the population needing services by 50% to 150%.Conclusions: The results suggest that suburban and rural communities could be overwhelmed by evacuees from their center city following an IND detonation. They also highlight the urgency of educating and communicating with the public about radiation hazards to mitigate panic and hysteria, anticipating the ways in which a mass exodus may disrupt or even cripple rescue and response efforts, and devising creative ways to exercise and drill for an event about which there is great denial and fatalism.(Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2011;5:S143-S150)

Investment in public transportation such as a metro line extension is often capitalized partially into housing values due to the spatiotemporal effects. Using housing transaction data from 2014 to 2019, this paper studies the Second Avenue Subway or Q-line extension in New York’s City’s Manhattan borough. Multiple metro station catchment areas were investigated using spatial autocorrelation-corrected hedonic pricing models to capture the variation of housing price dynamics. The results indicate that properties in closer proximity to the Q-line extension received higher price discounts. The effect varied by occupancy type and building form: condominiums experienced the highest price discount, while walk-up and elevator co-ops experienced a price premium. After controlling for location variations, we observed price discounts on the westside and price premiums on the eastside of the Q-line. Residential properties within 150 m west to the Q-line extension received the highest price discount post operation, while on the eastside, properties in the same proximity received the highest price premium. The anticipation effect varies by distance to metro extension stations, both before and after the operation of metro line extension. We discuss the disruption of metro construction on the housing market depending on housing type, location variation, and changes over time.

Teaching mathematics by project-based learning (PBL) method on the use of educational technology offers an innovative teaching pedagogy at college. The “World Culture Art Created with Calculus Graphs of Equations” poster project was designed by the first author and was completed in the pilot Calculus course during the spring 2016 semester at Borough of Manhattan Community College in the City University of New York. This project was to guide students to use graphs of equations in the creation of recognizable national symbols from different countries with different cultures by the Maple technology. Students’ graphing knowledge as well as their technical Maple skills were applied in the completion of this project. Students’ creativity, freedom, and diversity in their mathematical thinking have been fostered. Students have learned that combining mathematics knowledge with technological skills can create innovation in art. The project increased students’ awareness and appreciation of multi-cultures for a diversified student body in New York. Successful project outcomes in students’ work shed light on effectiveness of this project-based learning (PBL) approach in mathematics education.

ObjectivesTo determine whether asthma hospitalisations of children and adults in the five boroughs of New York City are correlated with influenza hospitalisations temporally and spatially.DesignA longitudinal ecological study.Inclusion criteriaWe reviewed the Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System’s records of hospitalisations in Manhattan, Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island from 2002 to 2012. All hospitalisations with a primary diagnosis of either asthma or influenza were identified using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification diagnosis codes.MethodsA time-series regression analysis was performed using aggregate monthly counts of influenza hospitalisations as predictors of asthma hospitalisations. Time-series regression models were also applied to different age groups and boroughs to examine the magnitude of influenza and asthma correlations across strata. The per cent excess risk was also calculated across age groups and boroughs.ResultsTime-series analysis of the overall population revealed a significant positive correlation between influenza and asthma hospitalisations (p=0.011). When stratifying by age, there was a significant positive correlation between asthma and influenza hospitalisations for individuals 18 and older (p<0.01), and no significant correlation found for age groups younger than 18. Percentages of excess risk of influenza-related asthma hospitalisations also increased with increasing age with adults 18–44, 45–64 and 65+ having excess risk percentages of 2.9%, 3.4% and 4%, respectively. Time-series analysis by location revealed positive significant correlations between asthma and influenza hospitalisations in Brooklyn (p=0.03) and Manhattan (p<0.01). Manhattan and Brooklyn had a 2.5% and 1.6%, respectively, percentage of excess risk of influenza-related asthma hospitalisations.ConclusionInfluenza and asthma hospitalisations are significantly associated at the population level among adults. These associations vary by age and geographical location. Influenza prevention strategies targeting adult populations, particularly individuals living in Manhattan and Brooklyn, have the potential for meaningful reduction of influenza-related asthma hospitalisations.

This thesis explores an alternate typology for a residential high rise in the Hudson Square neighborhood in Manhattan. The units that make up the building are organized with stairs and corridors placed along the interior perimeter of the unit which both bound the central floor space and expose it, creating a layered vertical circulation space around a central, permeable core. The collective organization of units within the building recapitulate their interior organization to form the building object creating a whole that is governed by the same organizational rules as the parts. The building is created as an object in the city meant to frame the duality between transparency and reflection, between lines and surfaces and ultimately between exhibition and anonymity.

The objective of the underlying project was to achieve a pricing strategy to be applied to the 2020´s expansion of the Pestana CR7 Hotel brand to New York. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the CR7 brand and its competitive advantages as well as the proposed hotel neighborhood and potential competitors before actually entering the market. Finally, by using a short-list of competitors as benchmark, a reference table was built for the monthly prices during the hotel´s first year of activity and some recommendations provided regarding future revenue management and the pricing strategy.

Abstract Montefiore Hospital sits on Gun Hill Road and 210th Street in an unfashionable area of the Bronx, a borough of New York City. The hospital opened there in 1913, but it originated in Manhattan as the Montefiore Home for Chronic Invalids in 1884. The physician who transformed the institution from one restricted to chronic care to a modern all-purpose hospital was Ernst Boas, son of Franz Boas, the famed anthropologist. Ernst himself was a cardiologist, ardent proponent of national health insurance for all, founder of Physician’s Forum, and a straight-talker. About Charles Elsberg, one the most famous neurosurgeons of the day, Boas said, “Elsberg especially causes many difficulties. There is nothing we can do with him and I am afraid we shall have to get rid of him.” Elsberg was also chief of Neurosurgery at the Neurological Institute at about the same time.

This chapter begins with a review of twentieth-century rent regulation in New York City, which enables the section to show how the erosion of rent regulation in the 1990s paved the way for the financialization of housing in the 2000s. It shows how historically devalued lands can become new sources of profit without requiring wholesale regulatory transformation. While protective countermovements against housing market liberalization have tended to operate through an individualistic logic of consumer protection, the chapter explicates how such efforts have tacitly accepted commodity housing as an inevitable future, with the result that speculative investment in rent-regulated housing has emerged as a major growth sector. Parallel fictions of “undervalued assets” focused on core, upmarket Manhattan districts and “mismanaged assets” focused on lower-income, mostly outer-borough neighborhoods have helped financial institutions engineer the facts of rising rent. Ultimately, the chapter investigates how these narratives of undervalued assets and mismanaged resources operate as fictions driving housing financialization.

Abstract Delineation of land is the creation of titles. Most of the dry surface of the Earth is delineated to some degree. The exact degree is predictable by a simple criterion of property-rights analysis: if the benefits are greater than the costs, then the land is delineated and a boundary emerges. The effect of delineation is a reduction in negotiation costs. Uncertain boundaries dampen the incentives to invest in land potentially under dispute. In such cases, ownership over the value added to the land may some day have to be negotiated. For example, no homeowner should enclose his yard without first surveying the property. On a grander scale, no government should permit land improvements near a border if the border itself is in dispute.1 One way to lower the negotiation costs of ownership is to use simple signals to delineate the land. The rivers of the United States are a good example. They separate the United States from other nations, states from states, cities from cities, and even boroughs within cities from other boroughs. For example, the Rio Grande separates the United States from Mexico; the Mississippi River separates all the states to its east from all the states to its west; the Delaware River separates Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from Camden, New Jersey; and the East River separates the borough of Manhattan from the boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn in New York City.2 Habitats also have their boundaries. Sometimes the boundaries are visible barriers like oceans, mountains, and deserts. But usually the boundaries are less visible.

Abstract One day in1988, Bill Lynch, Manhattan Borough President David Dinkins’s chief of staff, met with Basil Paterson, the only black leader in New York City to have served at a senior level at city hall. What should Lynch do first if the opportunity arose for Dinkins to run for mayor? “Set up a think tank;’ said Patterson. A think tank may not seem top priority for a pragmatic politician, but to Lynch, a seasoned political campaign strategist and former labor leader, it made sense. Besides, Patterson did not have in mind a detached academic think tank that thinks up policy but has no opportunity to carry it out or take responsibility for results. Paterson urged Lynch to initiate discussions with leaders of local organizations and with academics to help Dinkins develop an agenda, assess what political resources and alliances would be needed, and to begin conversations with those who could help him achieve that agenda. Draw up the agenda before, not during or after the campaign, Paterson said. If Dinkins became mayor, “there will not be time to think through issues.” But in 1988, fund-raising, the courting ofunion and party leaders, and polling seemed more important to both Dinkins and Lynch than forming a think tank and a civic roundtable.

The risk of disruptive climate change is real and immediate. A low- pressure system forming in the tropics develops into a Category hurricane, 1 making its way slowly up the east coast of the United States. Normally a storm such as this would be expected to make a right- hand turn and move off across the Atlantic. Conditions, however, are not normal. This storm is about to encounter an intense low- pressure weather system associated with an unusual configuration of the jet stream, linked potentially to an abnormally warm condition in the Arctic. Forecasts suggest that rather than turning right, the storm is going to turn left and intensify as it moves over unseasonably warm water off the New Jersey coast. It develops into what some would describe as the storm of the century. New York and New Jersey feel the brunt of the damage. The impact extends as far north as Maine and as far south as North Carolina. Lower Manhattan is engulfed by a 14- foot storm surge, flooding the subway, plunging the city south of 39th Street into darkness. Residents of Staten Island fear for their lives as their homes are flooded, as they lose power, and as their community is effectively isolated from the rest of the world. As many as 23 people are drowned as floodwaters engulf much of the borough. Beach communities of New Jersey are devastated. As much as a week after the storm has passed, more than a million homes and businesses in New York and New Jersey are still without power. Estimates of damage range as high as $60 billion. This is the story of the devastation brought about by Hurricane Sandy in late October of 2012.The encounter with Sandy prompted a number of queries concerning a possible link to human- induced global climate change. Andrew Cuomo, governor of New York, commented: “Part of the learning from this is the recognition that climate change is a reality, extreme weather is a reality.”

<p>As cities worldwide are increasing in density, building departments and municipalities are allowing construction using the air‐rights above transportation infrastructure to maximize use of valuable real estate. One Manhattan West (1MW) and Two Manhattan West (2MW) are supertall office towers recently designed and engineered by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) that rise above the underground train approach to New York City’s Penn Station. Although the towers are neighbors and have a similar program, they are undercut by the train tracks in different ways. The disparate below ground conditions result in two distinct structural solutions.</p><p>The structural system of 1MW is a concrete core and a perimeter steel moment frame. The site conditions prevent the perimeter of the 304‐meter‐tall tower from reaching the foundation. This challenge is addressed by transferring the perimeter to the core above the ground, thus making 1MW one of the slenderest structures in New York City. The structural system of 2MW consists of a central braced steel core with outrigger and belt trusses and a perimeter steel moment frame. Here the perimeter reaches the foundation with a few lateral transfers however only half of the core reaches terra firma. This paper presents a side‐by‐side comparison of the structural solutions for the two towers.</p>

<p>New York City constitutes one of the most extreme cases of urban concentration due to land scarcity. The development of skyscrapers has been one of the solutions to address the problem and, more often than not, new structures are being built directly over the extensive network of underground infrastructure in the city.</p><p>The presentation showcases the experience and lessons learned from a selection of projects in the US and UK located directly on top of existing infrastructure. Examples include NYC transit projects spanning from the 1990s, when nine buildings along Riverside Boulevard and on top of the former Penn Central rail yards were developed, to the ongoing Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park project where up to six buildings will be erected on top a 320,000sqft platform over train tracks. Amongst other projects, the presentation will include the Hudson Yards development on the east side of Midtown Manhattan located over the subway entrance to the 34th Street station and the Waterline project built over the AmTrak and LIRR train tracks. In the UK case studies include two recent London projects at Royal Mint Gardens and Principal Place. The general focus is aimed at the structural strategies employed and their impact not only in construction costs but also the long-term effect in the urban fabric.</p>

In 1991 excavation for a 34 story Federal office tower at Broadway between Duane and Reade streets in lower Manhattan unearthed for the public a site titled on colonial maps as the "Negro Burial Ground." This place which occupied the margins of the Dutch colonial city, later the edge of the encroaching palisade construction, was the final resting place for free Africans, slaves and other impoverished people. In the seventeenth century the grounds were the only space where Africans free and slave could meet together so that the burial ground was also a political rallying space. This burial ground was the Africans only autonomous space, the only space where they were allowed to congregate with regularity in large numbers.

ABSTRACT: Do we need urban planning? For a better future, for a better territorial integration, for attending collective demands? New York is at the other side of the usual answer. Manhattan is an example of the versatility of a single pattern, drawn on a paper over a territory with very different features. When it comes to reality, it uniforms it, and fills it with progressive, unattended and renewed demands, with no more plan than the one that is demanded by an efficient economic system. Its urban plan (?) has just attended, quickly, private demands, giving flexibility to ground uses and GFAs, with no more worries than its functionality. As the only stable issue, as simple and clear as possible, has been the link between urban space and territory through a universal but fixed pattern. It allows free deals between developers and authority, respecting very few regulations, to enable changes, constructions, knocking offs and rehabilitations far from the European style urban plans. Which is its future in a democratic and free society? A government based constantly and with transparency on assemblies, not in a Plan, that can assure equal treatments and fair deals of the initiatives towards the community? Some of the proposals accepted in Manhattan, where the urban shape at its simplest stage of a horizontal pattern unchanged in its 200 years of existence, show us the success and failures of this system. Adapted from the beginning to a traded world, it has no bad urban nor social conscience. This frame match perfectly the precapitalism of its founders with the demands of a contemporary globalized society.

In literature islands are seen as mythical symbols of distance and solitude. Since cities are certainly physical things, the cities on islands can provide fine examples to consider the real versus the unreal. The paper is an attempt to discuss the cities localized and built on islands. It tries to pinpoint their specificity and provides introductory classification in order to help distinguish the island cities in terms of their position within surrounding waters (sea, river, lake); size (area and population), urban form (organic, gridded, mixed). The statistical data and estimate figures are used. The historic and geographic scope is not limited. The examples from different continents and various historic periods have been taken into account to provide a wide range of possible tracks of development. Apart from Venice, which is an obvious choice, the selected and discussed cases are Mont Saint-Michel, Nesebar, Flores, Kazimierz (in Krakow), Manhattan (in New York), Singapore. The discussion begins with the genesis of a particular example and follows with its further transformations and present situation. The localization of the city on the island seems to influence the urban form in a specific way as compared to the non-island localization. The main features of that phenomenon are: increased defensiveness, higher stability, and the focus on careful use of limited land resources. The city’s localization on the island can be perceived nowadays as a means of restriction against its further development. However, it often offers a chance for their future existence, providing the settlement with stability and self-assurance. It is specially noticeable in the historic island cities, due to their unique urban form and image which have resulted in the recognition of their values and appropriate heritage protection.

The thermal response of a large city including the energy production aspects of it are explored for a large and complex city using urbanized atmospheric mesoscale modeling. The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) mesocale model is coupled to a multi-layer urban canopy model that considers thermal and mechanical effects of the urban environment including a building scale energy model to account for anthropogenic heat contributions due to indoor-outdoor temperature differences. This new urban parameterization is used to evaluate the evolution and the resulting urban heat island formation associated to a 3-day heat wave in New York City (NYC) during the summer of 2010. High resolution (250 m.) urban canopy parameters (UCPs) from the National Urban Database were employed to initialize the multi-layer urban parameterization. The precision of the numerical simulations is evaluated using a range of observations. Data from a dense network of surface weather stations, wind profilers and Lidar measurements are compared to model outputs over Manhattan and its surroundings during the 3-days event. The thermal and drag effects of buildings represented in the multilayer urban canopy model improves simulations over urban regions giving better estimates of the surface temperature and wind speed. An accurate representation of the nocturnal urban heat island registered over NYC in the event was obtained from the improved model. The accuracy of the simulation is further assessed against more simplified urban parameterizations models with positive results with new approach. Results are further used to quantify the energy consumption of the buildings during the heat wave, and to explore alternatives to mitigate the intensity of the UHI during the extreme event.
