While chain stores proliferate along neighborhood main streets, a simultaneous phenomenon of storefront vacancy threatens the character of New York City’s famously vibrant street life as landlords push out small business owners, holding out for higher-paying tenants. Join Jonathan Bowles, the Executive Director of the Center for an Urban Future, Jeremiah Moss, author of Vanishing New York: How a Great City Lost Its Soul and Lena Afridi, Director of Economic Policy at the Association for Neighborhood & Housing Development, for Malls vs. Bodegas: Resisting the Suburbanization of the City, a conversation at the Brooklyn Historical Society. The discussion will be moderated by Vanity Fair contributing editor Paul Goldberger. The speakers will consider how to counteract the “mall-ification” of public space and commerce in New York City.
