After an onslaught of 20th century ills, the Bronx neighborhoods of Mott Haven, Melrose and Morrisania came to be seen as an amorphous and depressed "South Bronx." In recent decades, planning, new buildings and the arrival of artists have begun to restore viability. This series of walking tours stresses renewal in response to basic urban geography. This walking tour will enter Mott Haven from Harlem via the Third Avenue Bridge and examine its transportation advantages, historic preservation and redevelopment, ending at the Bronx Terminal Market. Leader: Jack Eichenbaum, urban geographer.
