City Sink is a design research proposal for a meta-park of
dispersed landscape infrastructure to boost carbon stocks in
biomass and through formation of long-term sequestration reservoirs
for soil organic carbon in New York City and Long Island. City Sink
research merges urban land-use lifecycles and the carbon cycle to
describe a systemic response to the elevated atmospheric carbon
levels provoking climate change. The project is a model for
reimagining urban landscapes as urban ecological infrastructure. A
collaboration between the City College of New York. Bernard and
Anne Spitzer School of Architecture and Oscar Riera Ojeda

Bauhaus Earth and Pontifical Academy of Sciences conference, June
2022 The built environment is a critical factor in the climate
equation. Approximately 40 percent of global emissions derive from
the construction, operation, and demolition of human settlements.
The 21st century must be the century of re-entanglement, where
quintessential functions (housing, work, culture, recreation, etc.)
are reintegrated within urban spaces; where socioeconomic and
ecological systems form a mutually supportive network of networks;
and where past, present, and future are perceived as interwoven
waves in the river of time. Fortunately, opportunities exist to
transform the built environment from a carbon source to a carbon
sink through, e.g. timber construction high-rise buildings,
circular bioeconomy methods, AI-assisted design, smart recycling
technology, multifunctional land use, integrated regional resource
management, and community-based urban development, to name just a
few. This volume compiles the papers presented by world-renowned
scientists, architects, spatial planners, activists, and policy
makers at the Reconstructing the Future for People and Planet
conference, held at the Vatican in June 2022. First publication of
the Bauhaus Earth think tank Ideas to transform the anthropocene
Contributions by Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, Ursula von der Leyen,
Edgar Pieterse, Francesca Bria, Xu Tiantian, Shigeru Ban, Sheela
Patel, Ana MarÃa Durán Calisto, and many others We look forward
to the re-entanglement of our cities with the ingenuity of
nature’s systems, and to forging closer alliances across Built by
Nature, Bauhaus Earth, and all our partners in this endeavor.

What if Atlantis wasn't a myth, but an early precursor to a new age
of great flooding? Across the globe, scientists and civilians alike
are noticing rapidly rising sea levels, and higher and higher tides
pushing more water directly into the places we live, from our most
vibrant, historic cities to our last remaining traditional coastal
villages. With each crack in the great ice sheets of the Arctic and
Antarctica, and each tick upwards of Earth's thermometer, we are
moving closer to the brink of broad disaster. By century's end,
hundreds of millions of people will be retreating from the world's
shores as our coasts become inundated and our landscapes
transformed. From island nations to the world's major cities,
coastal regions will disappear. Engineering projects to hold back
the water are bold and may buy some time. Yet despite international
efforts and tireless research, there is no permanent solution-no
barriers to erect or walls to build-that will protect us in the end
from the drowning of the world as we know it. The Water Will Come
is the definitive account of the coming water, why and how this
will happen, and what it will all mean. As he travels across twelve
countries and reports from the front lines, acclaimed journalist
Jeff Goodell employs fact, science, and first-person, on-the-ground
journalism to show vivid scenes from what already is becoming a
water world. An immersive, mildly gonzo and depressingly well-timed
book about the drenching effects of global warming, and a powerful
reminder that we can bury our heads in the sand about climate
change for only so long before the sand itself disappears.

Imagine a city with no cars or streets and where people ride boats
to get around. This place is Venice, Italy. Built on a lagoon,
Venice is in trouble. The city is sinking, and engineers are racing
to save it before it is too late. Learn about the efforts to save
Venice from the sea. Created in collaboration with the Smithsonian
Institution, this STEAM book will ignite a curiosity about STEAM
topics through real-world examples. It features a hands-on STEAM
challenge that is perfect for makerspaces and that guides students
step-by-step through the engineering design process. Make STEAM
career connections with career advice from Smithsonian employees
working in STEAM fields. Ideal for school reports and projects,
this informational text will appeal to reluctant readers and ages
6-8.
