In just four years, the annual Riverkeeper Sweep has grown from 30 clean-up and stewardship sites in 2012 to 100 — and possibly more — this year.
As more people become engaged in restoring the Hudson River and its tributaries, the Sweep — to be held on Saturday, May 9 — will make a visible impact in communities from Red Hook in South Brooklyn to Troy in the Capital District.
In 2030, the world’s population will be a staggering eight billion people. Of these, two-thirds will live in cities. Most will be poor. With limited resources, this uneven growth will be one of the greatest challenges faced by societies across the globe.
To engage this international debate, Uneven Growth brings together six interdisciplinary teams of researchers and practitioners to examine new architectural possibilities for six global metropolises.
NYC Wildflower Week presents a full week of free events to showcase the 53,000 acres of open space and 778 native plants in NYC's 5 boroughs. The goal of the week is simple: to encourage New Yorkers to get to know the nature in their own back yard and to inspire them to protect this natural heritage for future generations. Most events are FREE and open to the public!
