Emergent City
Over a decade, a microcosm of democracy emerges in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park based on rising rents, environmental racism, and the loss of industrial jobs. When a developer buys Industry City—a big industrial waterfront complex—and builds an innovation district, a battle erupts. Emergent City sheds light on power and process, explores intersections of gentrification, climate, and real estate development and asks how change can emerge despite the dominance of money, politics, and business as usual.
We will share letter of support for UPROSE campaign to decarbonize Sunset Park, and we also encourage people to come to UPROSE's Sept. 28th festival "Climate Justice Lives Here."The non-profit UPROSE's work is done in the interest of a Just Transition, a move away from the extraction economy and towards climate solutions that put frontline communities in positions of leadership. Their work occurs at the intersection of social, racial, economic, environmental, and climate justice, where different campaigns and initiatives naturally feed into, complement, and support one another.
