Pratt Center for Community Development

By Alexa Kasdan, Chante Ramsey, Janrey Serapio, and Tara Duvivier

Pratt Center for Community Development recently celebrated its 60th anniversary ​and will be presenting an exhibition showcasing our projects working alongside community partners to build a more just and equitable New York City—from the early days of the community development movement to today’s continued fight for housing, climate, and economic justice​.

Our exhibition will include one of our newer projects, "This Used to be a Club: Historical Mapping of NYC Nightlife" supported by the Office of Nightlife to collect data on current and historic nightlife venues and create a database that will contain data useful to policy makers, historians, and others.

A display case showcasing historical materials related to community planning and childcare. The collection includes photographs, newspaper articles, and pamphlets, arranged on a flat surface. Featured items include a booklet titled "Pratt Guide to Planning and Renewal for New Yorkers," various images from community events, and an article about a tour led by Sen. Kennedy. The background shows patterned tile flooring.
