Built on an estuary, New York City is rich in population and
economic activity but poor in available land to manage the needs of
a modern city. Since consolidation of the five boroughs in 1889,
New York has faced innumerable challenges, from complex water and
waste management issues, to housing and feeding millions of
residents in a concentrated area, to dealing with climate change in
the wake of Superstorm Sandy, and everything in between. Any
consideration of sustainable urbanism requires understanding how
cities have developed the systems that support modern life and the
challenges posed by such a concentrated population. As the largest
city in the United States, New York City is an excellent site to
investigate these concerns. Featuring an array of the most
distinguished and innovative urban environmental historians in the
field, Coastal Metropolis offers new insight into how the modern
city transformed its air, land, and water as it grew.
