Getting globalized: Urban policy and industrial displacement in Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Article Abstract:

An in-depth study of small-scale manufacturers in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, in New York city is done, and the extent to which and the ways in which local policy undermines otherwise healthy locally oriented businesses is examined. The City's assumption that urban manufacturing is a dying breed becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, largely through the city's own treatment of its manufacturing businesses and sees itself as a difficult place to start and grow business.
