This thesis investigates the cultural and historical significance of the Prospect Place-St. Marks Avenue Superblocks in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, highlighting their historic role as exemplars of community-led urban redevelopment. Initiated in the late 1960s by local community leaders, the Superblocks project represents self-determination in placemaking and a radical shift towards participatory planning in New York City. By preserving both the physical space and the intangible heritage of community activism, this study underscores the dual importance of material conservation and social infrastructure. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research includes historical analysis, archival research, ethnographic observations, intercept surveys, and tenure analysis. The findings reveal that the Superblocks not only transformed the built environment, but also fostered long-term community cohesion and cultural continuity amidst urban change. The project's success, evidenced by increased longevity and homeownership rates compared to a neighboring street without social infrastructure, underscores the efficacy of community-led planning to create resilient urban spaces. This thesis posits that historic preservation must encompass the preservation of processes that give agency to and recognize the identity of marginalized communities. By recognizing the cultural and historical significance of the Superblocks, this research advocates for a broader recognition of cultural landscapes and proposes collective action and adaptive reuse as strategies to sustain and commemorate this heritage. The Prospect Place-St. Marks Avenue Superblocks serve as a compelling model for future preservation efforts, emphasizing the importance of community engagement, cultural heritage, and placemaking in shaping equitable and vibrant urban environments.
