In Brooklyn’s Prospect Heights neighborhood, the conversion of a few former industrial buildings to loft apartments in 1999 was followed by the announcement of the massive Atlantic Yards project in 2003, which in turn led to a dramatic increase in commercial and residential rents and an accelerated displacement of residents and businesses. Exposing change through individual stories, images, demographic data and public opinion research, the Intersection | Prospect Heights project provides insight into how rapid change driven by development has affected a diverse community and what hopes its members hold for its future.
