Re-Imagining Brooklyn's Inner Core: Atlantic Yards and Brooklyn Bridge Park
Project for Public Spaces
A NLG must read, that proposes a positive vision for Brooklyn, while promoting critical thinking about current proposals.
This essay addresses two major projects that are now in the works--Brooklyn Bridge Park and the Atlantic Yards development--that present a once-in-a-lifetime chance to re-shape Brooklyn's inner core around a truly vibrant public realm. As currently envisioned, both of these projects will be tragic missed opportunities, because they are not designed as compelling places that people will enjoy using.
