How the Meatpacking District Became a Cultural Hub in NYC

Описание: In this episode, we sit down with Jeffrey LeFrancois, Executive Director of the Meatpacking District Management Association, to explore the transformation of NYC’s Meatpacking District—from an industrial hub to a global destination for culture, nightlife, fashion, hospitality, and the arts. Jeffrey explains the role of Business Improvement Districts in city planning, how public–private partnerships shape urban identity, and what it takes to manage a world-renowned neighborhood. We also discuss the future of the district, tourism’s impact, moments like the upcoming FIFA World Cup, and the cultural influence of institutions such as the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.
