- Title
Atlantic Yards: This Generation's Penn Station?
- Authors
Oder, Norman
- Abstract
The article looks into the controversies and recent news surrounding the Atlantic Yard project in Brooklyn, New York. Estimated to cost at around $4 million, Frank Gehry's sixteen towers and a basketball arena on twenty-two acres design is considered a model for urban redevelopment by its proponents. On the other hand, critics see the project as shrouded with corruption of public processes, facing issues such as funding from public subsidies and tax breaks in addition to increased development rights and use of eminent domain that would benefit politically powerful special interests groups.
