Background info on zoning
This email just came in:
Dear all,
In time for our upcoming Zoning the City conference, we’ve published a DCP History Project website. You can find it now at http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/html/history_project/index.shtml. While we’ll be adding various planning documents to the site in the coming months, you can currently find our scanned and searchable collection of materials related to the 1961 Zoning Resolution.
Also in the historical vein, as many of you may have noticed, a new library is now under construction in the 4th Floor lobby. Feel free to take a look at what’s up there, but please don’t remove anything as cataloguing is still in process. I’ll send another update around when the full list of documents has been organized and finalized. In the meantime, if you’ve got materials around your office that are possibly of historical interest, send me an email to discuss.
