Public Brooklyn NOW: How Public Spaces Shape Neighborhood Life

1.5 AIA CEUs (pending)

This panel explores how public space in Brooklyn is shaped not only through design, but also through policy, community advocacy, and the forces that determine who a space is truly made for. From parks and waterfronts to sidewalks and under-elevated corridors, Brooklyn’s shared spaces are continually contested and transformed. The conversation brings together planners, designers, and advocates to ask what it really means to design for belonging.

Time: 6:30–8:00 pm EST
