At the Water Table: Conversations with River Network
ARIF ULLAH on Community-Centered Waterfront Development
What does it mean to engage in equitable development – and to center community health and needs at every step of the way? Arif Ullah, Executive Director of South Bronx Unite (SBU), joins River Network's Ayana Harscoet to tell the story of this small but mighty community-founded organization. Tune in to hear about SBU’s journey to transform the South Bronx’s polluted waterfront into a hub for recreation, gatherings, education, and more – while making sure the local community of Black, brown, immigrant, and low-income residents can continue to call the South Bronx home.
