Along the Greenpoint & Williamsburg Waterfront 2000-2010
In May 2005, the New York City Council approved the Department of City Planning’s rezoning proposal for the waterfront neighborhoods of Greenpoint and Williamsburg in Brooklyn, permitting light industrial and residential buildings to coexist. While these were always mixed-use neighborhoods, the proposal paved the way for additional housing and public space development along two miles of Brooklyn’s East River waterfront and upland neighborhoods. Height restrictions were significantly relaxed.
This project documents the change in the neighborhood from 2000 - 2010. The "Along the Greenpoint Williamsburg Waterfront" editioned book is part of the New York Public Library's art book collection.
A book spread showing "elements" of the Greenpoint neighborhood. Books are for sale!
