纽约市交通运输局（NYC DOT）与唐人街合作伙伴计划和Van Alen研究所合作，今天发起唐人街街道设计竞赛，该计划为寻求创新的建议，以计划、设计和建造一座标志性的现代社区标志，唐人街和小意大利历史悠久的莫特街南口相毗邻。跨越艺术和建筑，象征意义和功能，新的结构和公共空间旨在成为纽约市其中一个最具活力和历史悠久的交流场所。

唐人街街道的首要目标是为唐人街和周边社区提供一个新的地标，引发区域自豪感，体现文化和社会认同，刺激经济发展。这个新的结构和公共空间将位于由运河街，百特大街和沃克街围绕的重要步行区三角交通岛，非正式地称为运河街三角。唐人街之道邀请来自各种背景的设计团队提交设计，激活空间，尊重过去和现在的社区，同时结合互动技术和增强绿色空间。该团队今年晚些时候将选出90万美元的预算来设计和实施他们的设计，并将于2018年初开始与社区合作。


项目组织者要求设计团队考虑以下问题：

•        该场地如何作为响应传统的“门户”，以及适应不断变化的文化和国际人口的流动？
•        场地如何连接和汇集现有社区，为当地人和访客创造新的机会，以新鲜的方式体验该地区？
•        场地站点如何链接到唐人街，城市和世界各地的其他地方？

这个项目是由唐人街伙伴关系发起的，可以通过由曼哈顿下城发展公司授予的资助，该公司由美国住房和城市发展部的“社区发展分类财政补贴”和曼哈顿自治市总统办公室资助。

The New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT), in collaboration with the Chinatown Partnership and Van Alen Institute today launched Gateways to Chinatown, an initiative seeking innovative proposals to plan, design, and construct an iconic contemporary neighborhood marker at the nexus of Manhattan’s Chinatown and the southern entrance to Little Italy’s historic Mott Street. Straddling art and architecture, symbolism and function, the new structure and public space aims to become a vibrant place of exchange at the center of one of New York City’s most dynamic and historically rich areas.
The overarching goal of Gateways to Chinatown is to provide a new landmark for Chinatown and the surrounding neighborhoods that will engender pride of place, embody cultural and social identities, and stimulate economic development. This new structure and public space will be located on a triangular traffic island in a key pedestrian area bounded by Canal Street, Baxter Street, and Walker Street, informally known as the Canal Street Triangle. Gateways to Chinatown invites design teams from a range of backgrounds to submit proposals to activate the space, honoring neighborhoods past and present while incorporating interactive technologies and enhanced green space. The team, which will be selected later this year, will have a $900,000 budget to design and implement their proposal, and will begin working with the community in early 2018.

The project organizers ask prospective design teams to consider the following questions:
•        How can the site serve as a “gateway” responding to tradition as well as adapting to ever-changing cultural and generational demographics and technology?
•        How can the gateway connect and bring together existing communities and create new opportunities for both locals and visitors to experience the area in fresh ways?
•        How can the gateway site link to other gateways within Chinatown, across the city and around the world?
This project was initiated by Chinatown Partnership and is made possible by a grant from the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, which is funded through Community Development Block Grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Manhattan Borough President’s Office.
