The Brooklyn Borough President and Brooklyn College Host Important Conference on "The Future Of Brooklyn" Agenda Focused on Health Care, Housing, Jobs & the State of the Middle Class Brooklyn College in collaboration with the Brooklyn Borough President hosted an impressive gathering of more than 100 business leaders, city planners, politicians and a host of academic experts for discussions regarding the changes that have occurred in New York City since 9/11. Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz and Brooklyn College President Christoph M. Kimmich opened "The Future of Brooklyn" conference. "Brooklyn's best and brightest are stepping forward to help lead the borough through these challenging times," said Mr. Markowitz. "Events like these bring many of these talented people together, which can have an incredibly positive impact on both Brooklyn and the City of New York" President Kimmich commented, "Brooklyn College is pleased to host this event, which provides a forum for thoughtful discourse on issues that affect the borough." Participants in the conference included Deputy Mayor Daniel Doctoroff, who will deliver the keynote address; Bill Thompson, comptroller, City of New York; Harvey Lichtenstein, former executive director of the Brooklyn Academy of Music; Marilyn Gelber, executive director, Independence Community Foundation; Sharon Zukin, Broeklundian professor of sociology at Brooklyn College and author of The Culture of Cities and After the World Trade Center; and Ron Shiffman, professor of urban planning at Pratt Institute and a former member of the New York City Planning Commission. Deputy Mayor Doctoroff was extremely bullish about Brooklyn’s future. "A comprehensive development plan for downtown Brooklyn, being championed by the city’s Economic Development Corporation, City Planning and the Downtown Brooklyn Council will allow for 11 million square feet of new Class A office space and 3 million square feet of new residential space," said Doctoroff. "If that space gets built, Downtown Brooklyn will have as much office space as downtown Los Angeles. Take that for stealing the Dodgers." |
