A recent symposium at NYU Tandon School of Engineering gathered Brooklyn leaders from various sectors to address affordability and economic growth challenges. The discussions were fueled by a report from the Center for an Urban Future, illustrating Brooklyn’s economic recovery post-pandemic, yet highlighting stark disparities such as poverty and education gaps across neighborhoods. Participants proposed various solutions, including community space reimagining and youth development investment, aiming to ensure inclusive progress and closure of the racial wealth divide that affects many residents.
Brooklyn residents are not only passionate about this borough, but also really determined to create a better and fairer borough. And also hungry for ideas on how to get there.
The report found that more than 500,000 Brooklynites live below the poverty line and that the racial wealth gap is continuing to widen.
