Community Asset Mapping

Power in Place: Building Community Wealth and Well-being in Mott Haven-Port Morris is a community asset mapping and planning project that supports our community land trust.

The project makes the case for community prioritized use of land by 1) Creating a GIS (geographic information system) framework to identify opportunities, constraints, and requirements for the creation and use of public space; 2) developing a community-driven plan, incorporating the myriad of existing plans (from Pratt, CUNY, MIT, Penn Design and Columbia, among others), to create new and strengthen existing public space utilizing the CLT model; 3) Re-engaging the community and stakeholders for input and direction; 4) Building a communication toolkit that will strengthen advocacy and education about the CLT model.
