Description

New York became the largest city in America by 1900, and the challenges that came with that feat included how to move 3.5 million people, how to help them navigate and providing them with enough power. This symposium discusses the City's infrastructure, how it developed and what is planned in the future as the City moves to become carbon neutral.
