Atlantic Yards Report
WNYC this weekend will focus on Brooklyn, including Atlantic Yards, in its mini-series State of the Re:Union. It be broadcast Saturday May 1 at 2 pm and Sunday May 2 at 8 pm on AM820 and streamed live on www.wnyc.org.
The promo:
State of the Re:Union visits New York City's most populated borough to examine how this diverse collection of communities handles the friction of change, the pull of tradition, and discovers that special something that makes this neighborhood so celebrated.
New York's most populous borough, Brooklyn, is ever-evolving. Brooklyn has been celebrated as everything from a bastion of industry to a refuge for immigrants from around the world. This episode of SOTRU charts Brooklyn's evolution, celebrates the diverse communities and explores both sides of the dilemma that high-rise condos and gentrification has brought.
Segments include:
ATLANTIC YARDS IS__: Atlantic Yards is the biggest development project in the history of Brooklyn. With 17 high-rise buildings for housing and commerce, and a new basketball arena, it would be the densest residential community in the country. The development, though not built yet, has already, and will continue to, profoundly alter the chemistry of the neighborhood in which it's being built.
