Rezoning Harlem follows longtime members of the Harlem community as they fight a 2008 rezoning that threatens to erase the history and culture of their legendary neighborhood and replace it with luxury housing, offices, and big-box retail.. A shocking expose of how a group of ordinary citizens, who are passionate about the future of one of the city?s most treasured neighborhoods, are systematically shut out of the city?s decision-making process, revealing New York City?s broken public review system and provoking discussion on what we can do about it..
