Neighborhood Project Ideas
For my neighborhood project, I have narrowed down my ideas to two neighborhoods.
The first neighborhood I am considering is Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Originally farmland, I think it would be interesting to see how Greenpoint developed and how the Polish cultivated the area.
The second neighborhood I am interested in researching is Morningside Heights, Manhattan. Morningside Heights is home to many institutions such as colleges and churches. I think it would be interesting to see why these institutions set up in this neighborhood and how their presence have shaped the area.
Neighborhood Project: Wall Street
Wall Street is interesting because it isn’t a residential area, but a commercial one. I want to look into the history of income inequality at Wall St. In 2011, Occupy Wall St. caught the eye of the media for a couple of months. This demonstration is very likely to have affected the businesses and firms in the area. I hope I will be able to talk to the people who work in the area and interview them on the aspects of income inequality and their views on Wall St.
