Management
of Solid Wastes in South Bronx
(Profs. Laurie Hawkinson, Kate Orf, Karsten Millrath, Nickolas Themelis)
This studio will look at integrated waste management principles alongside
issues of waterfront revitalization and community needs in South Bronx.
New York is currently facing a garbage crisis that requires a re-thinking
of how waste is generated, handled and disposed of within the city boundaries.
The South Bronx community that the Studio will serve currently has 15
existing waste transfer stations that take up valuable land and dramatically
affect public health. This Studio will explore different strategies for
integrated waste management programs that could help remove these transfer
stations from the community and revitalize the Hunts Point waterfront.
