A unique chapter in the story of urban renewal, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts was the nation鈥檚 first performing arts complex. It was also part of the larger 45-acre Lincoln Square Urban Renewal Project, which included the Lincoln Towers housing complex, Fordham University, and community facilities. Directed by Robert Moses, the project erased the San Juan Hill neighborhood, displacing more than 7,000 families, largely African American, and 800 businesses.

The 1950s Washington Square Southeast urban renewal project鈥攁 reduced version of an earlier, broader Washington Square South plan鈥攃leared nine blocks of Greenwich Village to create three "superblocks." One was designated for New York University expansion, the others for housing. All now belong to the University. The tour will view the built results including work by Philip Johnson, I. M. Pei and Hideo Sasaki and discuss their subsequent evolution.
