Environment Events in Brooklyn

Join neighbors to learn about and discuss the Gowanus Green project and site remediation. The Gowanus Green Development Team and DEC will present and answer your questions about the 100% affordable mixed-used development being built at Smith and 5th Streets and the environmental remediation work required to advance the project. The project includes a 1.5-acre public park and a new public school.

This exhibit commemorates and reflects on ten years of community-partnered climate action investigations through the Delta Cities Coastal Resilience [DCCR] studios. DCCR supports local visions that address multi-scalar and intersectional challenges associated with the short- to long-term social, built environment, and urban ecological adaptation to and mitigation of climate change in local and regional waterfront communities. Hear from community partners, Pratt faculty and alumni, and other participants in this initiative. Remarks will begin at 7:30pm. Light refreshments will be served.
