SoHo, short for “South of Houston Street,” is a vibrant neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, New York City. Since the 1970s, SoHo has been renowned for its artists’ lofts, galleries, and a dynamic array of shops ranging from high-end boutiques to national and international chain stores. This transformation highlights the neighborhood’s role in urban regeneration and gentrification, reflecting broader socioeconomic, cultural, political, and architectural shifts.
The name “SoHo” was coined in 1962 by urban planner Chester Rapkin, author of the “Rapkin Report,” which analyzed the South Houston Industrial Area. The moniker also nods to Soho, a district in London’s West End.
SoHo is predominantly within the SoHo–Cast Iron Historic District, designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1973, extended in 2010, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a National Historic Landmark in 1978. This district encompasses 26 blocks and approximately 500 buildings, many featuring distinctive cast-iron architectural elements. Its charming side streets are often paved with Belgian blocks, adding to the area’s historic character.
