Hell’s Kitchen South: Development Strategies conveys the community’s history and includes strategies for steering new development in the area that will build on the neighborhood's distinct character and include a diverse mix of affordable housing, commercial activity, and accessible open space. 

The Design Trust's efforts to facilitate a community-based vision for Manhattan's far west side are encapsulated in this report. The document includes findings from a community planning conference, as well as the results of a subsequent design study carried out by Design Trust fellows.

Contents include design studies and planning reports, feedback from public exhibits and symposia, and a discussion of a series of goals:

  • Ensure that new development respects varying area scales
  • Increase residential population while assuring a mix of incomes
  • Improve and public amenities
  • Mitigate traffic congestion
