Green Loop, New York

Abstract

The Green Loop is a proposal for a network of ten waterfront composting hubs in New York City. Each proposed Green Loop hub would consist of a composting facility at street level and an elevated public park on top, large enough to accommodate a range of activities from educational programs, neighbourhood gardens, and crosscountry skiing in the winter. New York City has less open space per person than almost every other major city in the US. The Green Loop network alleviates two major urban problems: organic waste management and lack of green public space.
