“We’re All Part of the Neighborhood” A new report from Intersection | Prospect Heights

In Brooklyn’s Prospect Heights neighborhood, the conversion of a few former industrial buildings to loft apartments in 1999 was followed by the announcement of the massive Atlantic Yards project in 2003, which in turn led to a dramatic increase in commercial and residential rents and an accelerated displacement of residents and businesses. Exposing change through individual stories, images, demographic data and public opinion research, the Intersection | Prospect Heights project provides insight into how rapid change driven by development has affected a diverse community and what hopes its members hold for its future. Download the report.

Our creative walking tours of all the Intersection sites came back this June. Participants listened to the new and old Intersection stories in sites around Prospect Heights, joined by many of the Intersection tour guides and led by artist Gabrielle Bendiner-Viani. 

This is our first in a series of 360 videos of the tours, move around the video, listen to the stories, watch the participants and get a feel for the walks. How these are similar or different to your own stories?
