Field Session: Reimagining Urban Waterfronts for Ecological Outreach & Resilient Communities

​​Join us for a visit to Gansevoort Peninsula in Hudson River Park, a flagship project that brings nature-inclusive design to Manhattan’s first-ever public beachfront, guided by Aliza Leit, Marine Biologist at ECOncrete.

​​Discover how stepped terraces were designed to optimize ecological benefits in the intertidal ecosystem, while creating accessible spaces for communities to engage with nature along the city’s shoreline. 

​​Learn how site-specific strategies and nature-inclusive design enhance biodiversity, support community resilience, and embed recreational and educational features along the water’s edge.
