Resumé af delegationsrejse til Nye York 9-13. april 2015
4. maj 2015
Tid: 9-13. april 2015
Sted: New York, USA
Deltagere: Mette Reissmann (Formand) (S), Jan Johansen (S), Louise
Schack Elholm (V), Karina Adsbøl (DF), Lars Dohn (EL).
Ledsaget af: Dan Westfall (udvalgsassistent) og Laura Purup (udvalgssekre-
tær). Desuden deltog Anette Klint Kofoed (kontorchef i Ministeriet for By, Bolig
og Landdistrikter).
1. Formålet med studieturen til New York var ved en række forskellige aktivi-
teter, møder og besøg at få indblik i og høre nærmere om den aktuelle
boligpolitik i NYC, herunder at få viden om de særlige by- og boligudfor-
dringer, der er i New York sammenholdt med Danmark. Turens formål var
også at give et nærmere indsigt i, hvordan NYC håndterer udfordringer
med at skabe beboelsesformer til økonomisk overkommelige priser, samt
skabe arbejdspladser og økonomisk udvikling i de enkelte byområder til
gavn for hele byens udvikling og økonomiske stabilitet. Endvidere var tu-
rens formål at få en nærmere indsigt i og uddybning af arbejdet med at gi-
ve bydele et kvarterløft og derved omdanne udsatte områder til populære
områder med stigende interesse både erhvervsmæssigt og boligmæssigt,
samt en nærmere drøftelse af mulighederne ved at danne privat-offentlige
partnerskaber omkring byfornyelse m.v.
2. Væsentligste punkter fra besøget
Møde med bystyret, New York City Department of City Planning
Delegationen mødtes med Carl Weisbrod, director for New York City De-
partment of City Planning og formand for City Planning Commission,
Purnima Kapur, executive director for New York City Department of City
Planning, Jeff Shumaker, director for Urban Design og Sophie Nitkin, for-
mandens assistent. På mødet med bystyret blev delegationen præsente-
ret for byudvikling og byfornyelse, der er pågået i NY, herunder hvordan
byen arbejder med at sikre beboelsesboliger til overkommelige priser (af-
fordable housing). Formanden for By- og Boligudvalget præsenterede li-
geledes bystyret for arbejdet i Danmark, særligt med fokus på de byudvik-
lingsprojekter, der har været i København de seneste ti år, i lyset af at by-

styret har haft en delegation i København i 2007. Mødet gav delegationen
lejlighed til at drøfte boligpolitik og erfaringsudveksle med repræsentan-
terne for bystyret.
Bevarelse og omdannelses af byområder – historie, kvarterløft, bevarelse,
OPP-samarbejde
Formanden, Curtis Archer, og adm. direktør, Thomas Lunke, for Harlem
Community Development Corporation gav delegationen en præsentation
af arbejdet med at ændre Harlem fra at være et udsat område med høj
kriminalitet til i dag at være et populært område både for beboelse, virk-
somheder og erhverv. Der blev redegjort for, at kvarterløftet i Harlem i
særdeleshed er drevet af en nytænkning af det økonomiske og finansielle
system, samt hvordan forskellige OPP-samarbejder har spillet en væsent-
lig rolle i forhold til at løfte kvarteret. Desuden har ændringer i zoneindde-
lingerne i området også haft en stor betydning i forhold til at fremme blan-
dede beboelsesformer i Harlem. Delegationen var derefter på byvandring
i Harlem sammen med henholdsvis formanden og adm. direktør for Har-
lem Community Development Corporation.
Ved mødet hos The Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce introducere-
de formanden og adm. direktør, Lloyd A. Williams, delegationen til det ar-
bejde, chamberet har bistået med i forbindelse med omdannelse af Har-
lem, herunder om Harlems historie, udvikling og baggrund for omdannel-
sen.
Delegationen var på rundvisning i East Village, som er et område med
ældre boliger, og hvor der i dag bl.a. for at bevare bydelens oprindelige
karakter og eksisterende bygninger er restriktioner f.eks. i forhold til at
bygge i højden. Ved det efterfølgende frokostmøde med repræsentant fra
East Village Community Coalition, Sara Romanoski, blev delegationen
orienteret om kvarterets historie, udfordringer og udviklingen for East Vil-
lage området. Victor Bach, direktør for Community Service Society NY,
viste delegationen rundt ved Jacob Riis Houses i East Village, som er et
større boligkompleks opkaldt efter den dansk-amerikanske socialreforma-
tor Jacob Riis. Udvalget fik således lejlighed til at studere almene boliger i
NY.
Skabelse af byrum og byfornyelse fra arkitekternes perspektiv
Gehl Architects partner i NY, Matthew Lighter, konkretiserede og synlig-
gjorde ved en gåtur omkring Times Square de konkrete byrumsforandrin-
ger, der er foretaget omkring pladsen, samt præsenterede delegationen
for ideerne og tankerne bag omdannelsen, herunder at man i første om-
gang afspærrede gaden omkring Times Square midlertidigt og første ef-
terfølgende besluttede at gøre det til en permanent ordning. Omdannel-
sen bygger bl.a. på den danske arkitekt Jan Gehls studier og erfaringer i
3/3
Danmark. Delegationen fik således et godt indblik i, hvordan danske erfa-
ringer kan inspirere og bidrage til byudvikling i udlandet.
Delegationen besøgte BIGs tegnestue i NY, og den danske arkitekt Bjar-
ke Ingels gav delegationen et indblik i BIGs tidligere og nuværende pro-
jekter, f.eks. West 57th-byggeriet og The BIG U/Rebuild by design, lige-
som der var lejlighed til at drøfte BIGs erfaringer med - og forskelle på - at
agere på det amerikanske marked sammenlignet med Danmark, f.eks. i
forhold til finansiering, OPP-samarbejder, andre administrative byrder.
Bygninger og pladser i offentligt rum
Delegationen blev ved repræsentanter for projektet, bl.a. Joe Viola, Buck-
land & Taylor /COWI North America, vist rundt i det kommende transport-
center, The Oculus, som efter planen åbner i foråret 2015, og blev præ-
senteret for de bygnings- og konstruktionsmæssige overvejelser og ideer
bag byggeriet. Delegationen blev efterfølgende vist rundt på World Trade
Center mindeplads og Memorialmuseet. I forbindelse med besøget lagde
formanden for udvalget på udvalgets vegne en krans ved Survivor Tree.
Rekreative områder i en storby
På High Line-vandreturen blev delegationen ved vicepræsident for Plan-
ning and Design, Friends of the High Line, præsenteret for tankerne bag
omdannelse af jernbaneforbindelsen til et grønt rekreativt område, og
hvilken betydning High Line har fået for området f.eks. afspejlet i boligpri-
serne. I forlængelse af gåturen på High Line fik delegationen mulighed for
at besøge Chelsea Market, som er en pendant til Torvehallerne i Køben-
havn. I Central Park blev delegationen vist rundt i parken ved Gal Lavin,
repræsentant fra Central park Conservancy, og fik en orientering om par-
kens historie og betydning for byen, herunder hvordan man løbende ved-
ligeholder og fornyer parken. Og at parken i et stort omfang drives af pri-
vate donationer.
New Yorks historiske udvikling
På New York Historical Society blev delegationen ved henholdsvis en
film, rundvisning og gennemgang ved docent præsenteret for byens histo-
rie, udvikling og udfordringer igennem tiden. På Tenement Museet blev
delegationen ved en guidet tur vist rundt i et oprindeligt tenement hus og
blev præsenteret for, hvordan familier har boet og levet under en af de
største immigrationsperioder i NYs historie.
