S3 E6: Restoring an Unlikely Urban Oasis

from A Little Green · host Diana Gruberg, Natasia Sidarta, Christina Thompson, Aaron Levison, Anna McClain

S3 E6: “Once you zoom out a little bit, you realize how universal so many of these issues are.”Back in Christina’s neighborhood in Brooklyn, something huge is developing… The Gowanus Canal has a reputation for being beyond gross -- brimming with industrial pollution, sludge, and sewage. Just over a century ago, the Gowanus Canal was one of the country’s busiest waterways, and, over time, it became a superfund site, an eyesore, and one of New York’s smelliest landmarks. Christina is joined by Natasia Sidarta and Diana Gruberg from the Gowanus Canal Conservancy, an organization advocating for the transformation of the canal into a resilient, vibrant, and open space. They discuss how this major clean up effort and long term management plan could be an important model for future resilience projects.Resources:Gowanus Neighborhood Coalition for JusticeGowanus Canal Superfund ProfileThe Gowanus Neighborhood PlanFeatured in this episode:Natasia Sidarta, Diana Gruberg, and Jennifer Kepler of the Gowanus Canal Conservancy
