The resulting proposals, exhibited at MoMA in 2010 in the exhibition Rising Currents: Projects for New York's Waterfront, emphasize "soft" infrastructure interventions that would make New York City and its surrounding areas more ecologically sound and more resilient in responding to rising sea levels and storm surges. These innovative projects include the creation of salt- and freshwater wetlands, a Venice-like aqueous landscape, habitable piers and man-made islands, and a protective reef of living oysters. Published to document the exhibition, Rising Currents: Projects for New York's Waterfront presents these five projects in detail through essays that summarize the innovative workshop and exhibition, the dialogues they engendered with outside experts and political figures involved in regional planning, and the climate change and urban planning implications of the proposed solutions. 0aWaterfrontsxEnvironmental aspectszNew York (State)zNew YorkvExhibitions. 0aCity planningzNew York (State)zNew YorkvExhibitions.  2ddccBK  00102ddc4070aUAPCLbUAPCLcGeneral Stacksd2020-02-24o711.42 BERp3010019617r2020-02-24t1w2020-02-24yBK
