596 Acres champions resident stewardship of land to build more just and equitable cities. We build tools to help neighbors see vacant lots as opportunities and create needed green spaces that become focal points for community organizing and civic engagement. We turned our original online map into a sophisticated interactive organizing tool, Living Lots NYC, which provides information about vacant land across NYC and is supported by signs and other print materials. We also developed urbanreviewer.org, nycommons.org and onedollarlots.org. These web-tools and materials go hand in hand with our ongoing organizing and advocacy work. Find out more at 596acres.org.
