The NYC
2050 master plan rethinks NYC as a resilient city for all its residents while
addressing social, economical and environmental issues.
As one looks throughout the history of Manhattan's edge, one may realize how
it has changed throughout the years in order to better adapt the city to the
needs of its society of the time. This master plan addresses the necessary
changes to make NYC a resilient city as it embraces the current climate crisis
and it re-adapts itself once again for the future. By taking Venice as
inspiration and letting the flood be part of the city life, a new New York is
brought to life and a new urban plane is created in which the citizen becomes a
vital element in the most arterial part of a city, the streets. The city is completely
transformed on the ground level to rethink how the ground plane is occupied and
experienced by the citizens. Social, economical and environmental problems are
then simultaneously addressed thus creating a more interwoven relationship
between water, ground and buildings.
The NYC 2050 master plan was conceptualized by studying the history of
Manhattan's edge, the climate crisis predictions by the United States
Landfalling Hurricane Probability Project, and several climate studies produced
by the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
