Their are three thousand more Chinese people in the Sunset Park neighborhood than currently living in Manhattans Chinatown according to the NPA demographic break down of 2008-2012.
This influx of Chinese immigrants began in he late 80s and has continued to rise, while living in harmony with a large Hispanic community and a prominent albeit smaller Islamic community.
Sunset Park is called the Chinatown of Brooklyn. One of the only communities to spring up so rapidly and flourish so fast is currently going through gentrification like many Boroughs in the City. With this gentrification however come new waterfront job opportunities that the sunset park community is desperately wanting a piece of.
In the piece id like to write I would explore how this Brooklyn Chinatown came to be without many noticing and how they plan on keeping a hold on their ever expanding community.
