\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 My project focuses on exploring the reason why Downtown Brooklyn come to rise from early 1980s even to the present day. In simple words, I would want to explore how Downtown Brooklyn transformded so drastically from an industrial land to a technology hub. If possible, I might also try to figure out what roles Poly played during the process.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 As we read Sullivan\u2019s article of \"Directions to Brooklyn\" about his own understanding and analysis concerning Brooklyn, I became particularly interested in this part of the topic : the rise of Downtown Brooklyn. To begin with, I came up with this idea out of curiosity. As I moved to the New York Metropolitan Area, I was always told that the most prosperous and hectic area of the City of New York used to be Manhattan, and in the past Brooklyn wasn\u2019t part of New York. I learned the surprising fact that Brooklyn used to be a diverse borough with a high crime rate. I would focus on what role Poly played in the rise of Downtown Brooklyn and how the industry of technology supplemented its rapid growth.<\/p>","credits":"Shuhao Ruan","featured":0,"public":1,"theme":"default","theme_options":"a:1:{s:7:\"default\";a:13:{s:10:\"text_color\";s:7:\"#444444\";s:16:\"background_color\";s:7:\"#FFFFFF\";s:10:\"link_color\";s:7:\"#04137E\";s:12:\"button_color\";s:7:\"#000000\";s:17:\"button_text_color\";s:7:\"#FFFFFF\";s:18:\"header_title_color\";s:7:\"#000000\";s:4:\"logo\";N;s:17:\"header_background\";s:37:\"62ffbe645f6c2e1b2f7a81e65dffda40.jpeg\";s:11:\"footer_text\";s:0:\"\";s:24:\"display_footer_copyright\";s:1:\"0\";s:17:\"item_file_gallery\";s:1:\"1\";s:19:\"use_advanced_search\";s:1:\"1\";s:27:\"use_original_thumbnail_size\";s:1:\"0\";}}","slug":"rise-of-downtown-brooklyn","added":"2022-04-13 17:28:03","modified":"2024-01-17 22:52:11","owner_id":16,"use_summary_page":1,"cover_image_file_id":179,"id":15},"item":{"item_type_id":null,"collection_id":null,"featured":0,"public":1,"added":"2022-05-02 17:56:00","modified":"2022-05-02 17:56:00","owner_id":16,"id":224}}
