Planning For Future
Downtown Brooklyn, according to the civic group, "could be considered as the third node of the Manhattan central business district—closer to lower Manhattan than midtown is—yet it has a small-city atmosphere."(Lake and Moritz 37) "It possesses all of the attributes that appeal to people and employment to cities, yet many businesses and individuals miss these qualities."(Gottlies 84)
Mayor Koch stated that downtown Brooklyn was a goal of his administration during a news conference at City Hall, noting that the finance and fire departments had relocated to Brooklyn. "It's about time," the mayor stated(Gottlies 84). "It doesn't bother me whether it becomes number one." Downtown Brooklyn has assets worth developing, according to the research, which was developed under the direction of association president John Keith.
Gottlies's words were straight to the point. But what's more? In my opinion, beyond what is mentioned by him that is quintessential to people and cities, technology experts is far more necessary. Situated just beside the MetroTech Center, Polytechnic University annually nurtures brilliant engineering students and computer-science developers/workers that might later be capable of planning and improving these high-tech companies.
