The sources mentioned have many more ideas about the Gowanus Canal. During our first research, we saw this article and when I read it I saw the problem with helping the Gowanus Canal. Many solutions have come up but there is no will to work and pay for the solutions. Many people have tried to look for cheaper solutions instead and its a cycle that never ends and no solution is found. The guide book provides information of what rezoning is and what it consists of. We have seen some of the rezonings around the Gowanus Canal, as the residential apartments. The last article also spoke about rezoning and the effects around the canal. The sources mention ways to clean the canal as we have discussed in class previously. The rezoning articles show the possible ways the canal can benefit. The articles helped in seeing the positive outcomes of the rezoning.

The film My Brooklyn, Citizen Jane, Human Scale, and the special lecture all showed the importance of space for individuals. The three also showed the effects that people have on public issues. Individuals have lived and made public spaces theirs. The film showed the changes in overtime in certain areas and the way people were being pushed out in these areas. Many of the people in the film Human scale recalled being in the same place over many years and were now being pushed out because of rebuilding. The films also showed that people fight back for the space they consider theirs. Jane Jacobs was one of the many people who fought against these changes and actually won the fight. The special lecture also demonstrated the power of people. The Marching Cobras took over public space and shared their message through songs, dances, and unity. I liked the special lecture, The Marching Cobras are a great example of how you can make an impact through cultural movement.
How would you rate your level of experience doing research doing research in college?
My level of experience doing research in college is fairly good. I have had other classes that ask me to do research papers. So I have gained experience in doing them. I also like to read and be informed in order to do good in my research papers. When doing research you always look for supporting sources and evidence which I find easy.
What is your expectation for this class supporting your class in your major?
My expectation for this class is to learn and understand cities just like the name of this class. I also acknowledge that my major consist of a diverse population. We also have different locations for our agencies. I would love to learn more about the world and see the connection there are. I also expect to improve my way of doing research papers.
