Film Screening and Discussion of "Emergent City" (CC CLUE)

In addition, we will hold a film screening of the film Emergent City (2024) (1 hr, 41 mins) about the gentrification of Sunset Park in Brooklyn.

Residents of Sunset Park face a tangled web of rising rents, a legacy of environmental racism, and the loss of the industrial jobs that once sustained their community. When a global developer purchases Industry City – a massive industrial complex on the waterfront – and begins to transform it into an “innovation district,” a battle erupts over the future of the neighborhood and of New York City itself.
