For my neighborhood project, I want to do one of these two neighborhoods:

1) Tribeca: I want to look into the history of the neighborhood from its development to its rise as one of the most expensive neighborhoods in New York City. Its residents include some of the most notable celebrities and businessmen. I hope to also explore the architecture of the neighborhood which is very interesting and unique. Lastly, I want to research the impact that 9/11 had on Tribeca.

2) Williamsburg: I think Williamsburg is one of the most interesting neighborhoods in NYC because of its evolution. Once a raw industrial center cut off from the city, Williamsburg has transformed into an artistically rich residential neighborhood. I am curious of the impact of rezoning and gentrification and also of the various ethnic groups along with artists and musicians.
