The symposium, which will take place at Brooklyn Law School at 250 Joralemon St., will include three discussion panels that will touch on a variety of topics, including the politics of land use, how zoning is done in Brooklyn and the future of manufacturing zones in the borough. 

The symposium will also feature a lunch hosted by Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, who will also be discussing his ideas on key development issues facing Brooklyn. 

In her role as deputy mayor in the deBlasio administration, Glen oversees more than 40 city agencies, including the Department of Housing, Preservation and Development, the Economic Development Corporation, the New York City Housing Authority and the Landmarks Preservation Commission.

Glen is also overseeing the implementation of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s affordable housing plan, which aims to build or preserve 200,000 affordable apartments in the five boroughs by 2025.

During her tenure, New York City has invested more than $200 million in important borough institutions like the Brooklyn Army Terminal and Brooklyn Navy Yard, Greenfield said.

Prior to joining the de Blasio administration, Glen led the Goldman Sachs Urban Investment Group, where she was in charge of more than $3 billion in investments. She has also worked as a lawyer in private practice and served as a senior official in the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development under then-Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.

The Dec. 2 symposium that Greenfield is hosting will be co-sponsored by the New York City Council, Brooklyn Law School, the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce and The Real Deal magazine.
