New York City Places and Spaces

Collected by: Columbia University Libraries

Archived since: Jan, 2010

Description:

A growing collection of websites selected by the Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library staff for web archiving preservation by the Columbia University Libraries' Web Resources Collection Program. Website captures began in 2010 and are ongoing; in 2020, to reflect the collection's evolving subject focus, the collection title was changed to 'New York City Places and Spaces' (from the original 'Avery Library Historic Preservation and Urban Planning'). The collection's principal thematic focus is documenting the evolution of the built environment and public spaces in and around New York City through the interaction of historic preservation efforts and new development projects within urban planning debates. Selected websites are mostly published by non-profit groups or individuals based in the New York City area, including historic preservation groups, neighborhood associations, community development groups, public policy organizations, parks and open space conservancies, and both sponsors and critics of ongoing development projects.

Title: Brooklyn Laundry Social Club

URL: https://brooklynlaundrysocialclub.wordpress.com/

Description: "Brooklyn Laundry Social Club (BLSC) organizes events at laundromats in and around Bedford Stuyvesant Brooklyn. Because neighbors cross paths in laundromats, we see them as potentially dynamic sites of neighborhood interaction. We envision our events as comprising a mobile community center or social club that works to make the nascent community present in laundromats into an active one."
