Upper East Side and East Harlem Community Engagement Study
CIVITAS is a memberbased nonprofit organization serving the Upper East Side and East Harlem communities for the last 30 years on a variety of initiatives in the areas of zoning, transportation, streetscape, and environmental quality. With the assistance of the Capstone team, CIVITAS wanted to gather data to ensure its current and future initiatives correspond with the needs of the community and engage a broader spectrum of the community than it has historically. The Capstone team conducted a comprehensive community engagement study of its large and diverse community districts in East Harlem and the Upper East Side. The Capstone team analyzed survey results and produced recommendations on issues to pursue that are a high priority for local community members and feasible to undertake given the organization's capacity.
