THE LOWER EAST SIDE NEIGHBORHOOD
1.1 Context
The LES is a neighborhood in the Southeastern of the NYC borough of Manhattan.
It has traditionally been an immigrant, working class neighborhood, but it has undergone rapid gentrification in recent years.

Main Problem
How to retain the traditional (diverse and active) population in the LES?
How to stimulate local job creation as a possible response to gentrification and generating a new (local) social economy?

1.3 Framework project: vision and goals
Vision
middle organizations can become amplifiers (or social innovation hubs) beyond their initial scope (e.g. environmental justice, etc)
Goals
Stop the process of gentrification
Amplyfing creative communities as a mean to retain traditional people to leave the neighborhood

2.1 Framework project: Local project 1
Started in 1981.Ex-marine lived next to abandoned lot. With a group of friends cleared the lot and began a garden.
Based on two goals: to create a place to celebrate the arts, and to provide a healthy environment for neighborhood children.

Context
Located in LES a neighborhood in the Southeastern of the NYC borough of Manhattan.
Boundaries as source of controversy
Gentrification
2.2 Local project 1: context and main problem
Main problem
There is no “typical user.” The user group has changed a lot over the years. With changing ethnicities in the area, community interaction with the garden has changed.
Make visible the smaller organized activities and the non –organized activities.
![Page 17: Frizzo3june2010 100621164050 Phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b5ea0b479596c438b4799/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
2.3 Local project 1: vision and goals
Goal
Understand the communityFix the community beyond its heroAmplifying the community at the scale of the territory
Vision
Introduce the community in a amplification process that will lead to make it visible, indipendent, accessible and stable.
