Vicki Weiner has fifteen years of professional historic preservation experience and has been teaching at Pratt Institute since 2001. She has directed two non-profit preservation organizations in New York City, and was named the first Kress Fellow for Historic Preservation at the Municipal Art Society.
Since coming to Pratt Center for Community Development in 2004 her work has been focused on exploring the connection between preserving culturally important places and creating more equitable communities. In numerous projects she has developed strategies and public policy initiatives to enhance communities physically, culturally, and economically. She completed a year-long study of the Fulton Street Mall in downtown Brooklyn, analyzing the Mall's history and importance to various stakeholders and recommending innovative strategies to preserve and enhance it for longtime shoppers. Other projects at Pratt include developing policy solutions for local retailers facing displacement, and exploring ways to offset harms of the foreclosure crisis while increasing affordable housing opportunities. As an Adjunct Associate Professor at Pratt, she teaches in the Graduate Center for Planning and the Environment, most notably co-leading an annual joint studio between graduate planners and preservationists.
Weiner has an M.S. in Historic Preservation from Columbia University, and a B.A. from Drew University.
