Is Your Landlord Using Construction to Harass You?

Urban Investigations

Zoning It In...

What is rezoning? Why do neighborhoods change? Who decides if a neighborhood gets rezoned? How can the community have a voice in this process?

In the spring of 2017, CUP collaborated with Teaching Artist Gabe Gordon and public high school students from the Bronx School for Law, Government, and Justice (LGJ) to dig a little deeper into rezoning.

To investigate, students got out of the classroom and onto Jerome Avenue to speak with people invested in the future of the Bronx, from community members to government officials, and identified ways they could get involved in the rezoning process. This booklet is a guide to what they discovered.
