Take Me To The River: West Harlem Project

Creative Cities International (CCI) was part of the winning team, led by Nautilus International Development Consulting, Inc. in association with Donna Walcavage Landscape Architecture + Urban Design.  Its role is to help create a plan to strengthen the cultural and economic resources of West Harlem and southern Washington Heights. 

After detailed demographic study and community stakeholder interviews (CCI’s Vitality Assessment), the CCI team recommended a series of events under a single marketing banner to leverage the cultural strengths of the community, unite disparate cultural groups and institutions, and attract greater visitorship to the community.

Other aspects of the plan are a set of recommendations driving community usage of the Hudson River parks, improving the appearance and maintenance of access and sidewalks, and providing signage.  Members of the team include Eng-Wong, Taub & Associates, H3 Hardy Collaboration Architecture LLC, Ernst & Young, Studio L’Image, Warren Antonio James Architect, Kendal Henry Public Art & Urban Design, and V.J. Associates Inc.
