Hérodote.com, Une modification du plan de zonage permettrait à la municipalité de reconquérir un certain nombre de terrains, pour une part des entrepôts ferroviaires, qui attisent la convoitise des promoteurs. À travers deux études de cas, l’une à Manhattan, l’autre à Brooklyn, nous verrons comment les pouvoirs publics, à travers le parrainage de très grands projets urbains, contribuent à renforcer les processus de ségrégation à l’échelle métropolitaine, moins cette fois sur une base raciale et ethnique que socio-économique.
NoLandGrab: Mais, dans la case d'Atlantic Yards, il n'y aura pas "une modification du plan de zonage," parce que l'état de New-York s'est emparé le process. Donc, ils pourront dépasser tout le zonage local.
Pardon our French... in the case of Atlantic Yards, there won't be a zoning change because the State of NY has taken over the process. Therefore, they will be able to override all local zoning.

Dreadnaught responds to The Real Estate Observer snark that the DDDB advisory board "is going to do a little work for once."
Why does the NYOBserver single out DDDB....
One thing is for certain those on DDDB's board aren't there for glamorous charity balls or photo ops that will get posted in Town Country. Like the everyday volunteers the only thing they are getting out of this is a chance to save Brooklyn from careless over-development.
