About the Harlem NOW Map
The HarlemNOW map, published in May, 2009, is cultureNOW's latest effort at taking the cultural pulse of a living New York City community.
In 2005, cultureNOW turned its attention uptown to focus on Harlem which is another community in transition. HarlemNOW is the third major mapping project. This project grew out of a semester-long class project in physical planning at Pratt Institute. The project began with research done by students of urban planning at the Pratt Institute, and from that foundation grew into database documenting the buildings, artworks, and civic and cultural institutions that make Harlem one of New York’s most enduringly vibrant communities. The physical map was published in 2009; the first copy was given to Governor Patterson on May 9, 2009 at a service event for AmeriCorps in Thomas Jefferson Park. To supplement the physical map, cultureNOW has put together a series of tours of the area. Walking tours were held on Sunday Aug 9th; self guided tours are posted online. cultureNOW has also partnered with the American Institute of Architects NY Chapter Planning and Urban Design Committee to host a symposium, Focus on Harlem: A Community in Transition. cultureNOW has begun recording a series of podcasts by community leaders, journalists, artists and architects who have lived or worked in Harlem that supplement the physical maps. Explore the neighborhood yourself with one of our walking tours, or even create and print your own tour.
