New article published on security zones in New York City

A new piece co-authored with Justin Hollander at Tufts University appears in the current issue of the International Journal of Urban and Regional Research (Volume 34, Number 1: 20-34). In the article, we use a simple index to assess the presence and intensity of security zones - areas cordoned off or allowing only limited access for security purposes - in New York City. We find that approximately 27% of the city’s Financial and Civic Center districts is located within a security zone. This map shows limited areas in orange and closed areas in red. Click on individual security zones to view photos and scoring results for each.
