Closing Bell: Crown Heights Development Tour
Hunter College Urban Affairs and Planning professor Lisa Schreibman and longtime Crown Heights resident and Brooklynian contributor Michael Fagan will lead a tour focusing on development and retail change in Crown Heights. As the tour copy describes it:
Walk along two commercial corridors and contemplate what the current change means, who is winning, who is losing, what people are saying about the change, what policy makers are doing to encourage and discourage it. Policy wonks, historians and people with opinions are encouraged to join the conversation.
“Crown Heights: Where Change Is Happening” will take place Sunday at noon. It is part of a Municipal Arts Society event this weekend called Jane’s Walk NYC in honor of Jane Jacobs. There will also be tours of Wallabout, Red Hook and other areas in Brooklyn as well as other parts of New York City. For the full list of walks, go to the Jane’s Walk page.
