My Atlantic Yards tour, September 23, sponsored by the Municipal Art Society
Atlantic Yards Report
From the Municipal Art Society's list of tours: Sunday, September 23, Urban Debate: Atlantic Yards:
11:00 AM - Atlantic Yards Report watchdog journalist Norman Oder leads a walk around and beyond the controversial Atlantic Yards site, home to the new Barclays Center arena, opening on September 28. While visiting Fort Greene and Prospect Heights, Oder will discuss the history and future of the ambitious project (announced in 2003 and aimed to include 16 towers), the debates over urban design, architecture, public process, and eminent domain, and the challenge of fitting an arena into a site which offers excellent public transit access but also encroaches on an established neighborhood. Cost: $20 / $15 Members.
Note: tickets are limited; the location is provided when you pay.
