Pratt Graduate Preservation/Planning Studio: CB8

prattstudio

Hi Everyone -

This semester Pratt Institute's Graduate Center for Planning and the Environment is offering a Neighborhood Planning and Historic Preservation Studio focused on Brooklyn CB8. I am a Historic Preservation student taking this course, and also a resident of Prospect Heights. If you are willing, I hope to make use of your valuable expertise as the project moves forward.

The first step in the studio is to identify the stakeholders in the community, so each student has been charged with a different group to investigate for their assignment [schools, religious institutions, business owners, etc.]. My task in particular is to find all the homeowners & block associations, local civic & activist organizations in the area.

So far my list includes:

Crow Hill Community Association
Crown Heights Coalition
Crown Heights Info
Crown Heights North Association
Crown Heights Creative
The Crown Heightser
Revitalize Crown Heights
Prospect Heights Neighborhood Development Council
The Park Place/Underhill Avenue Block Association
The Dean Street Block Association
The Prospect Heights Association
Vanderbilt Avenue Merchants District
The Carlton Avenue Association
The Eastern Parkway Cultural Row Neighborhood Association
The Friends of Underhill Playground
Prospect Heights Parents Association
Weeksville Heritage Society

Any suggestions for other groups within the bounds of CB8 would be enormously helpful!
