eco-puncture: master plan
If you can't read please download the document
DESCRIPTION
Analysis of the Harlem River waterfront reveals fragmented patches of ecological habitat, brownfield contamination, degraded water quality due to storm and CSO discharge and unnatural river edges. Our plan aims to improve the overall ecological health of the river through a series of "eco-puncture" interventions aimed at restoring ecological connectivity along the river and addressing contamination and built up edges from industrialization.TRANSCRIPT
