The article discusses the transformation of the Gowanus neighborhood in Brooklyn, which was once an industrial area known for its polluted canal. Efforts are being made to revitalize and gentrify the area, with a rezoning effort underway to create a high-density residential area with around 8,500 new apartments, including affordable units.
