The city put an urban renewal plan into effect, which involved the demolition of many old buildings, with the intent of building high-rise residential towers, office buildings, and schools. Some of these were constructed, including Independence Plaza in 1975 on Washington Street, the [[Borough of Manhattan Community College]] in 1980, and [[Washington Market Park]] in 1981.<ref name=enc-nyc /> Some warehouse buildings were converted to residential use, and lofts began to be utilized by artists, who lived and worked in their spaces, a model which had been pioneered in nearby [[SoHo, Manhattan|SoHo]].<ref name=aia59 /> In the early 1970s, a couple of years after artists in SoHo were able to legalize their live/work situation, artist and resident organizations in the area to the south, then known as Washington Market or the '''Lower West Side''', sought to gain similar zoning status for their neighborhood.
