ABSTRACT
La Marqueta Mile is an innovative economic development and public space revitalization project that is currently underway in East Harlem, New York City. The project site is located under a railroad viaduct in the middle of Park Avenue, between East 111th Street and the Harlem River. This mile-long space bisects a neighborhood where income, health and educational attainment are among the lowest in New York City; a situation that has been exacerbated by the current global economic crisis.
