Come hear about the team's on going study of New York Harbor's rivers, bays, and tidal estuaries. In addition to researching the urban ecology of harbor waterways, the team will propose new public transportation corridors to link the New York and New Jersey waterfronts and investigate the urban consequences of severe flooding. Learning Objectives: Summarize the opportunities and dangers facing cities on the waterfronts in light of possible global warming flooding Analyze the possibility of recentering waterfront cities while creating a meeting place and crossroads on the water Assess the interaction of the environment and process of urbanization through spatial models and interrelated dynamics of urban ecology, infrastructural corridors, and regional hazards Speakers: Guy Nordenson and Catherine Seavitt AIA Provider: Guy Nordenson; Catherine Seavitt AIA; Adam Yarinsky FAIA FR39 Friday, 8:15-9:45 a.m.
