Planners’ Movie and Meet-up
“Emergent City”

[A city in the distance  Description automatically generated]

Emergent City is a feature-length film about the implications of Industry City, a Brooklyn industrial The Planners' Movie and Meet-up series continues with a screening of Emergent City<https://emergentcitydoc.squarespace.com/#about>.
A Spotlight Documentary, produced by Kelly Anderson and Brenda Avila-Hanna<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OS6vX2S6nF4EQ9BVDVlcfSIee1biPjh8/view>, this film was featured at the 2024 Tribeca Festival!
Over a decade, within the borders of a single Brooklyn community district, a microcosm of American democracy emerges. 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.
Emergent City is an observational civic epic. It sheds light on power and process, illuminating systems and giving viewers a front row seat to the public and private spaces where the city is shaped. With extraordinary access, it tracks an ensemble of participants including the local council member, Industry City’s developers and community members with divergent stakes. The film explores the profound intersections of gentrification, climate crisis and real estate development, and asks how change might emerge from dialogue and collective action in a world where too many outcomes are constrained by money, politics and business as usual.
Equity and the choices and balancing act between development, redevelopment, economic development and gentrification and displacement will all be covered in the program’s post film in-person discussion facilitated by Kathy McCabe FAICP. Also joining will be Jessica Andors, Executive Director of Lawrence CommunityWorks<https://www.lawrencecommunityworks.org/>. Additional speakers will be announced shortly.
