Residents (homeowners and tenants), business and property owners and gardeners formed Nos Quedamos to negotiate with the City of New York, participate in development, and encourage sustainable design. With over a million square feet of affordable housing (across different typologies and scales) and close to 100,000 square feet of new retail developed and occupied over the last 20 years, the work of Nos Quedamos and the legacy of Yolanda Garcia continue.
The walk will take approximately 1 hour. We will meet at Yolanda Garcia Park. The walk will encompass the planning, residential architecture, and open space.
