SUMMARY:Tour: New York City: Capital of the World
DESCRIPTION:Every city is unique\, but what further distinguishes New York from the rest is the profound presence of world trade – more than any other place on earth\, the world trades in New York City. This may be because of natural features so compelling that in the 1790s\, when the city’s population totaled only 25\,000\, George Washington predicted that New York would one day dominate the hemisphere and become\, in his phrase\, “the seat of empire.” Proving our first President right\, New York City has led the nation and the world in the fields of commerce\, culture\, finance\, communications\, politics. Join guide Peter Laskowich for a simple walk through downtown Manhattan we read New York as capital of the world as we discuss big ideas of Wall Street\, Federal Hall\, Ellis Island\, the attacks on 9/11 and our city’s (and indeed the nation’s)\, primary values.

SUMMARY:A Changing Landscape: Public Space and the New Administration
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: Barrett Doherty \nIn recent years\, the profession of landscape architecture appears to have taken the lead from urban design\, planning\, and even architecture as the primary generator of public space in New York City. The Bloomberg administration was seen as supportive of design\, focused on new forms of urban space such as bicycle lanes and small private parks integrated into public space. Was public participation left out of the Mayor’s equation? What about the private financing of public spaces? \nFocused on public housing and related initiatives\, Mayor De Blasio’s administration seems to have a different outlook\, perhaps viewing design as more of a middle-class prerogative concentrated in certain areas of the city\, and therefore less of a priority. If so\, what is happening to Bloomberg’s legacy in the design arena? In what is sure to be a lively discussion\, this program will poll several of New York’s landscape design leaders for their opinions on these issues and how they are playing out across the five boroughs. \nPresenters: \nSusannah Drake\, FASLA\, AIA\, Principal\, dlandstudio architecture + landscape architecture PLLC\nGonzalo V. Cruz\, ASLA\, Creative Director\, Landscape Architecture Studio NYC\, AECOM\nAdam Yarinsky\, FAIA\, Principal\, Architecture Research Office \nModerator: William Menking\, Editor-in-Chief\, The Architect’s Newspaper \nOrganized by: AIANY Marketing and Communications Committee \nPrice: Free for AIA members; $10 for non-members \nFor more information\, please visit: http://cfa.aiany.org/

SUMMARY:The Changing Nature of Nature in Cities
DESCRIPTION:From rampant urbanization to the alarming spread of invasive species and the rapidly increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere\, human activities are impacting natural systems on a global scale. Nowhere is the impact of mankind on nature more evident than in cities\, where forests have been razed\, wetlands paved\, shorelines bulwarked\, and nature has been relegated to patches of parkland and isolated remnants of woodlands and wetlands. These urban refuges retain only a fraction of their historic biodiversity\, but they do provide opportunity for the more than 50% of the global population that lives in cities to engage with the wonders and mysteries of nature. The Changing Nature of Nature in Cities symposium will explore the concept of novel ecosystems that are the result of urban development\, and ask if these much-maligned accidents of unbridled growth could ultimately mitigate the impacts of environmental change and re-introduce the wonder of nature in cities. \nSpeakers:\nPeter Del Tredici\, Adjunct Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture\, Harvard School of Design\nRichard J. Hobbs\, School of Plant Biology\, The University of Western Australia\nEmma Marris\, author/journalist\nKate Orff\, Founder of Scape/Landscape Architecture\, and Associate Professor of Architecture at Columbia School of Architecture \nSponsored by: NYBG Humanities Institute \nOrganized by: NYBG Adult Education \nEvent website: http://nybg.org/humanities \nCost: Member\, $10.00; Non-Member: $20.00

SUMMARY:Subway Reefs: Sea Turtles on the 7
DESCRIPTION:  \nSubway Reefs: Sea Turtles on the 7\nFriday November 14 at 7pm\nHunter College\n\nIn 2001 the MTA retired its fleet of Redbird subway cars. It gave the trains to states on the Atlantic coast to serve as artificial reefs for fish. The program has been successful in supporting the web of undersea life and attracts game fish\, which in turn draws sport fishermen and scuba divers to the reefs. New Jersey\, Delaware\, Maryland\, Virginia\, South Carolina and Georgia have “reefed” about 1\,000 subway cars in all from the MTA. \nCome hear Bob Martore\, the Artificial Reef Manager from South Carolina’s Department of Natural Resources\, explain how subway cars help provide homes for marine life. \nThe talk will be held in room 714 of Hunter College West. Entrance is at 68th Street and Lexington Avenue. Tickets are free but please RSVP. \n \n  \nFor more information visit: http://www.nych2o.org/\n  \n

SUMMARY:Bk Ecology Bike Tour
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: NYC DOT\nBk Ecology Bike Tour\nSaturday November 15 at 11am\nEast New York\nLearn about Brooklyn’s environmental challenges and successes on NYC H20’s leisurely and informative bike ride along Jamaica Bay. \nClimate change\, rising sea levels and intense storms like Hurricane Sandy have persuaded city planners of the value of marshland in storm water management.  A century ago the neighborhoods Sandy flooded were wetlands. \nAll 14 of NYC’s sewage plants are built in this vulnerable floodplain along the water’s edge. Their effluent flows into our bay’s and rivers\, so maintaining high quality treatment is vital to protect beach goers as well as wildlife. \nGovernment agencies like DEP and the Army Core of Engineers have partnered with local NGO’s like Jamaica Bay Eco Watchers and NRDC to design a plan to restore Jamaica Bay’s ecosystem. Initiatives include restoring wetlands\, mitigating combined sewer overflows (CSO) with green and grey infrastructure and upgrading sewage plants. \n\n\nOn this ride we will;\n–   Bike along the Jamaica Bay greenway\, visit restored\nwetlands and demonstrate how the multifaceted Jamaica\nBay Watershed Protection Plan is being put into action\n–   Visit a sewage plant and a storm water retention facility\nlearning about CSO’s and the ad hoc way in which the\nsewage system initially developed as well as the\nenvironmental and urban planning history of this area\n–   Explore one of NYC’s ‘Forever Wild’ areas\n–   See lesser known neighborhoods of Brooklyn\, including\nSpring Creek\, Bergen  Basin\, Sheepshead Bay\, Brighton\nBeach and Coney Island\, all fronting Jamaica Bay\n\n\nThe tour will be led by Bk ecology enthusiasts Adam Schwartz and Matt Malina.\n  \nWe will ride from the 26th Ward sewage plant to Coney Island along the Jamaica Bay bike path a distance of 13 miles. We will finish at the Stillwell Ave F Train station. \nThe pace will be 10 mph. We ride together for safety. Helmets are required. \nRain date: Sunday\, Nov 16th. \nREGISTER HERE: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/brooklyn-eco-bike-tour-fall-2014-tickets-14092776875 \n  \n\n\n\n\nEmail mm1566@nyu.edu if you are a student or educator to receive the discount code.\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Transition Neighborhoods Workshop - Neighborhood Organizing for Resilient Green Cities
DESCRIPTION:Two days after the Climate March in September\, the beta launch of Transition Neighborhoods took place in NYC. Riding the crest of a wave of climate change activism\, many New Yorkers came to explore how to keep the momentum going. 19 attendees\, almost half of the 45 people in the room\, expressed an interest in initiating a Transition project in their neighborhood. Transition is a global community organizing response to climate change\, resource depletion and financial instability. \nThere are 1\,100 plus Transition groups in 44 countries with 16 national hubs that have emerged to serve these groups. In the U.S. 151 Transition initiatives have formed with 100 more in formation. It’s time for New York City to tap into the power\, creativity\, and collective genius of this global grassroots network. \nIt starts with a series of small group meetings in which friends and neighbors go through chapters of a guidebook. They strengthen their sense of place and neighborhood culture while building relationships\, promoting local food\, and mapping their neighborhood’s current state of resiliency. The Transition Neighborhoods Prequel shows how to coalesce a group of friends and neighbors\, and get a resilience initiative up and running in your community. In this highly interactive workshop\, we’ll walk through the Prequel using small group scenarios and role playing\, and explore the first chapters of the guidebook. We’ll work through NYC-specific challenges\, with lots of time for questions and answers. Facilitated by Pamela Boyce Simms\, Lead Trainer\, Transition US and the Mid-Atlantic Transition Hub. \nNYC Transition Hub website: www.transitionnyc.org  \nFor more information about the Transition USA network\, please visit http://www.transitionus.org/ \nContact NYC Transition Hub at transition.nyc.hub@gmail.com \n

SUMMARY:The End of the Environmental Era
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, November 19\, 2014 from 11:00 am to 12:50 pm\nLocation: Columbia University\, Morningside Campus\, International Affairs Building\, Room 407 \nContact: For further information regarding this event\, please contact Hayley Martinez by sending email to hmartinez@ei.columbia.edu. \nThe Earth Institute presents Origins of Environmental Law Lecture Series Description: Introduction to Early Environmental Legislation\, Pre-1969. \nThis seminar is part of a semester-long lecture series entitled The Origins of Environmental Law: Regulation and Evolution. Leon G. Billings and Thomas C. Jorling are the two senior staff members who led the Senate environment subcommittee which originated and developed major environmental legislation in the 1970s\, including the Clean Air Act\, the Clean Water Act\, and the Superfund Act. Over the course of a single decade\, Congress enacted a series of environmental laws that defined the direction and character of environmental policy in the US and globally. Learn about the process that led to these seminal laws from the writers of the legislation themselves. \nThe 1970s was a successful decade for major environmental legislation\, ending with the passing of the Superfund Act in 1980. This talk will compare Congress during the 1970s to Congress today\, including a comparison of the committees\, the legislative process\, and politics. Among others\, they will discuss the role of the media\, election processes\, and the role of campaign finance and fundraising. \nRSVP is required for this event. Please note this lecture is part of a regularly scheduled course. Guests will join registered students in the class for the lecture and discussion.
