Brooklyn's waterfront has undergone a remarkable transformation over the last century, shaped by shifting industries, maritime commerce, environmental challenges, and community advocacy. Join a presentation by Dan Wiley, District Director for Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez, followed by a conversation with key waterfront experts, urban planners, and advocates on the policies, investments, and partnerships that have defined Brooklyn's shoreline and continue to influence its future.
Drawing on decades of experience across government, economic development, maritime transportation, and environmental leadership, panelists will explore how Brooklyn can balance a thriving working waterfront with ecological restoration, climate resilience, public access, and equitable economic growth.
Hosted by American Planning Association NY Metro Chapter's Environment and Waterfront Committees, Waterfront Alliance, Resilient Red Hook and South Street Seaport Museum.
