Urban environmental stewardship groups are examined in an effort to better understand how organizations to respond to a change across the urban landscape. Urban design and storyline are explored as a discursive strategy to advance urban planning in New York City. The first case features a greenway project in Brooklyn where neighbors united with local government to reclaim waterfront access. The second case involves Manhattan’s High Line Park, and, demonstrates how industrial era design is reinvented through art and nature. The last case centers upon the South Bronx and how charismatic leaders championed the cause of social justice using urban design and a unique storyline. The chapter concludes that the adaptive and resilient capacity of stewardship groups depends upon a repertoire of actions that includes the deliberate use of urban design and a clear project narrative, or storyline, that centers upon a particular interpretation of the natural world.
