Synopsis by Rachel Sprovtsoff

The Vanishing City examines the evolution of New York's neighborhoods from being locally sustained to accommodating big business and luxury living. Social inequalities are reflected in the changing landscapes of these long-established areas that are being lost to wealthy developers. Directed and produced by Fiore Derosa and Jen Senko and narrated by Kathryn Erbe, people from various backgrounds weigh in on the causes and ramifications of this rapid growth and what it means for the future of NYC.
