03:49 - Queens Bridge Houses

Nestled along the East River, Queensbridge Houses is the largest public housing development in North America. With its 3,142 apartments spread across 26 buildings, this community has been a vibrant and dynamic part of New York City since its construction in 1939.

Queensbridge has a rich history that dates back to the New Deal era. Built as a part of the Public Works Administration, it was designed to provide affordable housing for low-income families during a time of economic hardship.

The artistic legacy of Queensbridge is particularly noteworthy. The neighborhood has produced some of the most influential figures in hip-hop, with artists like Nas, Mobb Deep, and Roxanne Shanté hailing from these very streets.
