Gowanus Redevelopment: Principles of Good Urban Design and Housing

Join the conversation on Gowanus, the most vigorous redevelopment in Brooklyn, New York. Learn the principles of good urban design and housing, from the point of view of both public policy makers and design architects. We'll explore how planning tools, zoning diagrams, and urban design guidelines affect the way architects design our buildings, hear thoughts and feedback from architects, and confront challenges and opportunities. In all, join us to discover how the Gowanus redevelopment speaks to the larger landscape of the city's growth and housing policy.
