About this Event
Join Open House New York on a boat tour exploring the transformative role of financial, cultural, and community capital on New York’s waterfront. Andrew Gustafson of Turnstile Tours will lead a tour highlighting capital projects, housing, and industrial development shaping neighborhoods and shorelines along the East River. Passing by Randalls, Rikers, and Wards Islands on the way to the mouth of the Bronx River, this tour will offer participants the chance to see waterways rarely traversed by tour boats.
With over 500 miles of waterfront, New York’s harbors are home to various projects and places that generate economic, environmental, and cultural value for the city. From community land trusts to affordable housing developments to the industrial food center at Hunts Point, this tour will spotlight areas of investment along the waterfront while offering breathtaking views of the city skyline.
This program is part of , a multi-year series exploring how different types of capital—including financial, cultural, and community capital—combine to shape the quality of place and quality of life across the five boroughs and how these intersecting systems of capital can reverse legacies of disinvestment. This program is made possible with support from the National Endowment for the Arts and Bloomberg Philanthropies.
