Project overview
North Brooklyn is ranked as the third largest industrial business Zone in New York City, including 20,000 jobs and 12,000 firms across 721 acres of industrial land. The Newtown Creek waterfront has been a major hub of large-scale industry since the early 1800s when industries such as shipbuilding and kerosene and petroleum refineries were attracted by both strategic waterway access and a location in the geographic center of New York City.
Details
The goal is to densifying and supporting industries while developing and multiplying the activities adding on to incentivizing the some major factors. In order to achieve the general goals and strategies a design strategy was built focusing on the HOW the land use might get evolved. Three phases were proposed with the first phase one to introduce the Flex Zoning policy which requires the reevaluation of current permitted uses by launching the pilot projects further developing in the INDUSTRY CLUSTERS.
