Gotham Park is a project that will transform a stretch of underused land at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge into a public space for the surrounding community. It has been of interest to Headway, a team at The New York Times that reports on progress and possibility, for some time.
Headway is working with Citizen University this summer to look at how civic power and public space interact in everyday life. Citizen University is a national nonprofit that helps people build a stronger, more connected civic culture where they live. We’re starting with Gotham Park.
We’re especially interested in hearing from people who have a personal or professional connection to the area. If that includes you, we hope you’ll take a few minutes to fill out the short form below.
The Headway initiative is funded through grants from the Ford Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF), with Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors serving as a fiscal sponsor. The Woodcock Foundation is a funder of Headway’s public square. Funders have no control over the selection, focus of stories or the editing process and do not review stories before publication. The Times retains full editorial control of the Headway initiative.
