The Project
New York City is well known for its green spaces, which account for almost 40% of the city, according to
the Conservancy. However, around these green spaces are occupied by high-income, expensive areas. The
NYC park system has become the centerpiece of real-estate development, especially in recent years, and
in order to see a tree for lower-income citizens, you would have to ironically board a train or bus. For
a city that boasts so much about its green spaces in between all the tiny cramped-up apartment
buildings, the poorest are the ones who are losing out the most.
