DUMBO: A Model of New York City Revitalization (2)🌟
By the 1970s and 1980s, industry began to decline and factories were abandoned. Low rents and ample space attracted a large number of artists, photographers, and designers to move in. 🍃🌸 They transformed the abandoned industrial buildings into studios, galleries, and art spaces, and DUMBO began to transition into a cultural and creative community. 🌟This period was also one of the important times for the development of New York's underground culture and contemporary art. Entering the 21st century, DUMBO has completed a magnificent transformation from an industrial site to a high - end community: Technology startups have flocked here: for example, companies such as eBay and Etsy have set up offices here, making DUMBO known as "Silicon Valley of Brooklyn". 🍃🌸 Cultural and fashionable brands gather: There are many designer studios, niche clothing stores, and local cafes. 🌟Residential high - end: Old warehouses have been transformed into luxury apartments with floor - to - ceiling windows, attracting middle - class and wealthy people to live in. Popular tourist landmark: DUMBO is now a holy place for tourists and photographers. 🍃🌸 The most famous check - in spot is the view of the Manhattan Bridge on Washington Street. The bridge frame is just the Empire State Building. #DUMBO
