Good redevelopment! (In NYC!) - edited

Due to an error on my part, I had to remove part of this post. This is a revised version.

Thanks to everyone who responded! Almost all polled had the similar response of, hm...I can't think of anything off the top of my head. But when pressed, there ARE examples - they're developments that work and continue to work (tested by time), have catalyzed other economic or community development, and they didn't impose a single-facet solution on the neighborhood. Not all were exemplary in terms of community process, but there were also a few examples offered as products of good process.

Before I pull out the long list, I wanted to share an anonymous comment. I felt it captured the challenge of pulling together all the fragments that would result in a whole good development. Regarding the Poly Prep School on Prospect Park West:

"Granted, they're in a very historic, landmarked neighborhood. But still they fired their first architect, made their neighbors happy, kissed the rings of the community board and civic council cranks, spent money and came up with a really nice contextual design."

Got it?

So here is the first batch, in no particular order:

* Fulton Mall (I think it's a good example though Forgotten NY sees it as a missed opportunity)
* Hudson River Park
* Metrotech (I disagree with this one; even the BID that manages Metrotech starts out by reminiscing about what once was)
* DUMBO (on the fence - are neighborhoods "redevelopment" projects? then the whole city is a major redevelopment project.)
* A community center in the Bronx (am in the process of finding out which one)
* Fairway Harlem Market
* Chelsea Market
* Battery Park City (on the fence. Very well-intended, mixed reviews in terms of sustainable success.)
* Madison Avenue urban renewal site from 117th to 120th street (have to find out more)
