About our partnership with Gotham Park:
Gotham Park is a New York State not-for-profit founded in 2021 with the goal of establishing and supporting a new kind of hyper-urban public park at the Manhattan landing of the iconic Brooklyn Bridge. After only two years of the organization's advocacy efforts, the first acre of this envisioned 9-acre public space was opened on May 24, 2023, the 140th anniversary of the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge.
Welcome to Chinatown’s Impact Study in 2022 emphasized the importance of re-opening Park Row and prioritizing placemaking. For more than a decade, Chinatown and other neighborhoods surrounding the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Bridge have been divided by infrastructure and cut off from public spaces that once provided recreation, connection, and commerce. More than 10 million tourists and locals walk the Brooklyn Bridge each year. As long as Park Row and the Brooklyn Bridge landing are inhospitable, Chinatown will be shut off from $100 million of potential economic activity.
Learn more about the importance of creating more equitable open spaces and reopening Park Row to the community in Welcome to Chinatown’sImpact Study and Gotham Park’s Social & Economic Impact Report (partially funded by Welcome to Chinatown).
關於我們與哥譚公園的合作關係：
Gotham Park 是紐約州的非營利組織，成立於 2021 年，目標是在標誌性的布魯克林大橋曼哈頓側著陸點建立和支持一種新型超都市化的公園。經過該組織僅兩年的宣傳努力，這個預計有9 英畝公共空間的第一英畝於 2023 年 5 月 24 日，即是布魯克林大橋開通 140 週年開放。
「歡迎來到唐人街」 2022 年的影響研究，強調了重新開放 Park Row 和優先考慮場所營造的重要性。十多年來，唐人街和布魯克林大橋曼哈頓一側周圍的其他社區已被基礎建設分割開來，並與曾經提供娛樂、聯繫和商業的公共空間隔絕。每年有超過 1000 萬遊客和當地人在布魯克林大橋漫步，只要Park Row和布魯克林大橋著陸空間對遊人不太適合，唐人街就將無法進行價值 1 億美元的潛在經濟活動。
請參閱「歡迎來到唐人街」的影響研究和哥譚公園的社會和經濟影響報告（部分由「歡迎來到唐人街」資助），以了解更多關於創造更公平的開放空間和向社區重新開放Park Row的重要性。
