The New York State Pavilion, constructed as part of the 1964 Worlds Fair in Queens, has been included in a list of the world’s 100 most endangered cultural sites, released yesterday by the World Monuments Fund.

The city’s Department of Parks and Recreation, which owns the site, said in a statement that it will accept development proposals for the pavilion later this summer.

The original grounds, which include several structures, were designed in part by the architect Philip Johnson. Previous proposals for the Worlds Fair grounds from private developers have included an Air & Space Museum, which was also designed by Johnson.

The president of the nonprofit World Monuments Fund, Bonnie Burnham, said yesterday that American sites do not typically make the list because the preservation movement is alive and well here, and local advocates typically fight to maintain them.

“We’re supporting the idea that it’s worthy of being recognized as a heritage site,” Ms. Burnham said.

The organization raises awareness of cultural sites facing imminent danger. This year’s list includes sites in war-torn countries, including Iraq, Afghanistan, and Sierra Leone. For the first time, the list also includes locations facing global warming threats, including the historic Scott’s Hut research station in Antarctica.

Sites are chosen from about 300 nominations sent in from the public and voted on by a 10-member selection panel of art historians, archaeologists, and historic preservationists. To be selected, a site must have cultural or historic significance, an urgent threat of danger, and a viable preservation solution.
