New York's Stoops, Explained

Stoops are an iconic, cherished aspect of life in many neighborhoods in New York City. These stairways provide New Yorkers with a place to relax, gather with friends, and interact with neighbors. This video traces stoops’ history and evolution, from their Dutch origins to their role in contemporary urban life. While at first glance they may simply seem like an archaic architectural feature, their function is anything but trivial. Jane Jacobs helped popularize stoops' role in supporting casual public interactions and contributing to public safety by placing “eyes on the street.” From stoop sales to block parties to everything in between, stoops are part of what makes New York, New York.
