NYC is much larger than those cities, and it's much more complex than that. And what goes on in other cities has no bearing on New York. People still live in the housing projects, and you would have to move them before you can tear down and replace. That's just one reason why this redevelopment is being phased in over time. It's not like they are going to bulldoze entire blocks.
The beautiful thing about what they are doing here is incorporating the housing projects into the built fabric of the city, rather than stand alone, "tower in the park" developments.
