The CUNY Institute for Sustainable Cities at Hunter College will be hosting a presentation by Eric Sanderson to discuss the Mannahatta and Welikia Projects.
NY Renews is an unprecedented statewide coalition of 90+ organizations fighting for climate policies grounded in equity and justice for communities and working people.
This year we are asking all New York State elected officials to stand with their constituents and their communities and not with the big polluters. It's time to tackle the climate crisis and pass the nation’s most ambitious climate legislation, the New York Climate and Community Protection Act -- a bill that will move New York’s economy off of fossil fuels entirely in the next 34 years, create thousands of good jobs, and give real protection to workers and low-income communities.
New York has been hit with a number of catastrophic events over the past 15 years, but the city has been facing and responding to disasters for the past 150 years. Join the Museum’s curatorial and collections team to learn about historic events like the Blizzard of 1888, Hurricane of 1938, and the 1965 Blackout and their impact on the development of transportation infrastructure.
