Does New York's Chinatown Really Need an Arch? (Curbed)

In the diaspora, they're called Chinatown gates; in China, they're paifang or pailou. They have appeared in most major American Chinatowns: an ornate gate ...

“We’re not going to go into the streets to protest the arch,” said a resident in their 30s. At the final planning meeting last July, a group of local residents showed up to support the arch, holding signs in Chinese and English that read: “If not now, when?” Nolan Cheng, a lawyer on the board of Chinatown’s business improvement district, held a stack of paper that he said contained hundreds of signatures in support of the gateway. “In New York, I think that’s where there’s going to be a lot of argumentation,” she said. “He wanted to isolate us so that we live in fear, and the one place he succeeded is Chinatown.” Joanne Kwong, the president of Pearl River Mart and a member of the planning committee, also thinks the arch will attract more people to the area. Erica Allen-Kim, an architectural historian at the University of Toronto who has studied Chinatown arch projects across North America, said that the divide over the arch is a common one in urban development, where beautification proposals are often pitted against less photogenic social projects. Of the $20 million, the state awarded roughly 80 percent of the money to the arch and other beautification-related projects — like a proposal to add foliage and other “capital improvements” at Park Row’s pedestrian corridor, while just 13 percent of the funding went to expanding community services, like a health-and-wellness center, a child-care center, and a building-upgrades fund. Longtime community leader Wellington Chen, who has been part of efforts to build a Chinatown arch since 2006, calls the paifang a sort of Chinese “totem pole” and says getting one would be a vital gesture of support from New York State. “I just want to keep that instead of having a new arch.” That lent a sense of urgency to a committee of neighborhood leaders last year as they sifted through over 100 proposals for the grant — from repairing the crumbling [East Broadway Mall](https://www.curbed.com/2022/10/chinatown-minimalls-east-broadway-88-palace-pilot-taxes.html) to opening an “influencer’s smart kitchen” that would brew bubble tea using AI. In the early aughts, the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association, one of Chinatown’s oldest community organizations, tried to get one in Manhattan, and in the 2010s, a group of residents tried to build a “friendship” gateway across Brooklyn’s Eighth Avenue with backing from Beijing, even paying for then–Borough President Eric Adams to They have appeared in most major American Chinatowns: an ornate gate that spans over a road, inscribed with Chinese calligraphy and topped with a flared roof of golden tiles, a design that’s said to date back approximately 2,000 years.

City plans gateway arch to mark 'Soul City Corridor' (Austin Weekly News)

The city is ready to make a bold declaration of the “Soul City Corridor” on Chicago Avenue. It is choosing artists who will design a gateway arch and other ...

“I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.” At a casual glance, it is simply a statue of a young man racing forward with a book in the outstretched hand, but a closer look reveals that the book is the Autobiography of Malcolm X – which imbues the statue with deeper meaning. In recent years, Westside Health Authority and Austin Chamber of Commerce have also embraced the Soul City Corridor concept. After that, the city will hold community meetings to fine-tune the finalist’s design, with the goal of having the design in place by May and finishing up construction by September 2024. This is something Malcolm Crawford, head of the Austin African American Business Networking Association (AAABNA) has long advocated as part of a broader vision of revitalizing Chicago Avenue as the “Soul City Corridor,” the commercial and cultural hub of Austin’s Black community. 20, DCASE and AAABNA held a virtual meeting where the community was introduced to the three artists who’ve been selected as the finalists for the project.
