Planning Sector
The planning sector explores the full range of legal strategies, planning tools and incentives available for the protection of structures, districts and landscapes. Sector work seeks to increase the understanding of the connections between historic land development patterns and contemporary political and economic contexts. It introduces students to governmental and non-governmental entities involved in preservation and examines current legal and policy issues. Recent prize-winning theses explore subjects like the preservation of the Cross Bronx Expressway and the preservation of Coney Island as a low-cost entertainment venue.
