Mary Miss’s project City as Living Laboratory aims to establish Broadway as the “green corridor” of New York City.
Exploring the city as an urban ecosystem, with nature everywhere and in action at all times, it emphasizes the ways in which innumerable small decisions shape the environment we inhabit today, and exposes behavioral choices which have a decisive impact on our collective future.

The Beginning of Mapping as Evidence
In 185, physician John Snow set about tending to cholera victims in London. The epidemic continued to spread and spread. What could be done? Snow took the innovative approach to map the cases he found after noticing that some neighborhoods had a large amount of cases while some houses remained untouched. The infamous John Snow Map changed the future of geography, public health, and environmental design, when its findings showed that the culprit was a tainted well.
