A place of incredible cultural diversity, Brooklyn NY boasts a population of 2.65 million people. It would rank the 4th largest City in the U.S. if it stood on it's own. In the beginning, it was an agricultural Dutch settlement called Breuckelen meaning broken land or marshes. In 1883 it was connected to Manhattan by the  eponymously named bridge. It eventually evolved into the densely populated fascinating borough it is today. We all know icons such as Barbra Streisand, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Notorius B.I.G., Lena Horne and so many more hailed from the borough. So renowned worldwide is Brooklyn now, the Japanese have just invited The Brooklyn Made Store, which showcases the diversity of Brooklyn through products created by local entrepreneurs, to exhibit there. 

As Brooklyn has grown and developed, reinvented itself again and again the stewards of its development have shepherded and managed its growth and constant revitalization. One such public servant is veteran Urban Planner Regina Myer. From Director of City Planning for Brooklyn to the President of the Brooklyn Bridge Park where she steered the creation of the 225 million dollar green space, Regina is now at the helm of the Downtown Partnership, and who better is there to talk about the constantly evolving design of this beloved place.
