Abstract

The chapter looks at Bushwick and Northeast Brooklyn to provide a background for the urban renewal planning applications that are examined in the book. The importance of knowing history is essential to urban planning. Engagement of the people by governments is examined (setting the ground for coming chapters). The chapter examines Bushwick in particular, from early native American Indian habitation through to key eras up to the 1960s.
