Hello.

How are you?

I have been reaching out to representatives and pillars of community hoping to garner support for some ideas that people in the city have had these past five years since I entered the Women's Shelter System. These are ideas that homeless women, workers and urban planners have found exciting and feasible:



Linear Parks--to promote health, education, ecology, transportation with taverns and inns inside and outside the parks. Of course the Highline and the Lowline are examples of linear parks. Empire State Trail is a great example.

2020 Eco Fair-- on the site of the Fairgrounds in Queens, NY. Hotels and other sponsors can bid for building permits that could include, hotels, a Performing Art Center at least as large as Lincoln Center, schools, housing for local people in need, restaurants, indoor public spaces, hike and bike trails, bike parking, and more...all with ecology and education in mind.

Health Spas/Urban Planning Centers--complexes including housing, auditoriums, indoor public-spaces, and restaurants that serve the aging and poor as well as the wealthy and youthful. Metropolitan Hospital in Manhattan is a good site for a start.

World Hiking School--serves youth and elderly and everyone in-between, has accommodations as well as educational and fitness courses and offers scholarships to people in need. Could be accredited.

United Nations Apparel--designers and architects from every nation work together to create and market eco-friendly, labor friendly apparel.

(Four) (Free) Regional Universities

1, 000 new indoor public spaces at least as nice as Deutchebank atrium on Wall Street. When it's 17 degrees outside people young and old need to get out of the cold. Lowline might be an interesting example. David Rubenstein Atrium is a great example.




If any of these sound like good ideas please mention them to representatives and pillars of community and philanthropists that may be interested.

I have reached out to AIA, Nikki Haley, Erik Solheim at UNEP, many elected representatives, prominent architects and Bloomberg Philanthropies.
