The Story of the BQE, a 40-minute documentary produced by the Institute for Public Architecture (IPA) with NYU Schack Institute of Real Estate, examines the institutional segregation and environmental damage caused by the construction of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. Directed by architect Adam Paul Susaneck of Segregation by Design, the documentary highlights the devastating impact the 35-mile highway had on Brooklyn and Queens, displacing tens of thousands and dividing communities.

Welcome remarks will be given by Polly Trottenberg, Dean of NYU’s Robert F. Wagner Graduate School and former US Deputy Secretary of Transportation and NYC Transportation Commissioner. The film will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by Tiffany-Ann Taylor, VP of Transportation at Regional Plan Association.

This event is presented in partnership with Regional Plan Association, NYU Schack Institute of Real Estate, and the Institute for Public Architecture.
