New York Teens Focus On Urban Redevelopment
Using a grant from Rehabilitation Through Photography, a year-long elective at one New York City school concentrated on redeveloping 5.5 acres of Flushing, Queens.

Following the bidding process of the Economic Development Corporation, the young planners learned to appreciate the city as more than a mass of buildings.
