Unveiling the Brooklyn NOW! 26 exhibition, this panel introduces the public to the exhibition and the people shaping Brooklyn today. Centered on the question, “Who is building Brooklyn now?”, the conversation highlights the collective forces, architects, planners, civic leaders, cultural institutions, and future generations, who contribute to the borough’s built and civic landscape. It offers an accessible entry point for students, families, and community members interested in how they can participate in building Brooklyn’s future.
