Fort Greene

A report on the future of Brooklyn's central shopping district

Amid the city's broad redevelopment plan for downtown Brooklyn, Fulton Mall: New Strategies for Preservation and Planning offers ideas for securing the future of Fulton Mall as a vital public place in the wake of the area's 2004 rezoning to promote new office, retail and residential space. The Pratt Center brought historic preservation, urban planning, ethnography, community cultural development, and economic development strategies together, in order to identify economic opportunities, preserve the district's most important historical resources, and provide unique and useful retail for surrounding communities.
