Unlike many urban renewal projects began by Robert Moses, the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts was a heavily supported slum clearance project.  





Moses built many highways and public housing projects before beginning Lincoln Center.  Acres of tenement housing were cleared for the Lincoln Center complex and the project housing on its west side.  The Center offers parking and easy highway access to patrons arriving from outside of Manhattan.
