International Downtown Association Hosts World Congress
Welcome to B-K-L-Y-N. Let us show you a thing or two about urban revitalization.
Biz-development brains from Mayor Bloomberg to South Bronx poverty fighter Majora Carter gathered at the Pratt Institute Tuesday morning to share strategies and successes for building economically vibrant neighborhoods with participants of the International Downtown Association’s World Congress and 59th Annual Meeting.
“This is one of my five favorite boroughs,” quipped the Mayor, who noted that a big portion of the 400,000 jobs that have been created in New York City since the recession were generated in Brooklyn.
