596 Acres is a New York-based organization dedicated to empowering residents to transform vacant lots and public spaces in their neighborhoods. Through their online platforms, Living Lots NYC and NYCommons, they provide information and resources for New Yorkers to find, unlock, and protect shared resources, such as vacant lots and public buildings. They also offer tools like Urban Reviewer, which catalogs urban renewal plans adopted by NYC to facilitate new development. While they no longer provide advocacy support, their online tools remain available for residents to champion resident stewardship of land and build just and equitable cities. With a commitment to radical transparency, 596 Acres aims to create a more inclusive and participatory urban environment. They document each time NYC sells or plans to sell a vacant lot to developers for $1 through their One Dollar Lots tool, allowing New Yorkers to better understand the impact of dollar sales of public land on their neighborhoods and the city. Through their various initiatives and events, such as ribbon-cutting ceremonies and dance parties, they actively engage the community in reclaiming and revitalizing public spaces. 596 Acres has played a significant role in shaping the land access advocacy movement in New York City and continues to inspire residents to take action and create positive change in their neighborhoods.Generated from the website
