Exploring Southwest Brooklyn

Foreword

The city of New York is experiencing unprecedented growth. Forecasts predict an additional three million people will join its population in the coming 25 years. As an ever-evolving city, there are significant questions about where and how this growth will be accommodated and what it will mean for all New Yorkers. To help inform the dialogue about the challenges and choices for the city, AECOM has produced a framework document exploring the regeneration and development potential of Southwest Brooklyn to drive an ascendant, resilient, equitable, and thriving New York City. Comprising Red Hook and Sunset Park, this neighborhood represents by far the single largest area left for development in New York.
