New New Amsterdam
In these uncertain times, New York is at risk: as a global leader and by the very real threat of rising seas. Global socio-economic shifts and climate change are deftly eroding the metropolis, once the apotheosis of the American Dream. Rather than face slow but certain obsolescence, Manhattan takes the imminent threats as an opportunity to execute a radical proposal and reassert its metropolitan might.
