The Waterfront Action Agenda for Waterfront Alliance
The policy document that was a driving force to the creation of NYC’s Vision 20/20 Waterfront Plan and the Hudson River Estuary Action Agenda, a program of New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
The Waterfront Alliance convened an unprecedented series of strategy sessions with participants from over 240 agencies and organizations. Level M structured the ideas from these strategy sessions into The Waterfront Action Agenda, turning it into a powerful vision and policy platform for the region.
The next-level follow-up to the Action Agenda, is State of the Waterfront, the start of a comprehensive report card for the region and political leadership. The publication led to creation of the Harbor Scorecard and other strategies to help quantify and track waterfront progress.
By comparing Congressional Districts and City Council Districts including the disparities of waterfront neighborhoods, what needs fixing, and what deserves celebrating, the report card helps guide political leadership in the creation of sound waterfront policies.
NYC’s Climate Change Report
Produced the first Climate Change Report for New York City Department of Environmental Protection in concert with HydroQual Environmental Engineers. The policy report was presented to congress and led to the creation of the Mayor's Office of Sustainability.
Produced a fold-out wayfaring brochure: Life Signs: An Explorer’s guide to the biodiversity of Northern Manhattan. The brochure features the environmental challenges and highlights of the last remaining salt marsh and old forest of Manhattan via a virtual walking tour. It promotes participating public space groups and deeper policy commitment to biodiversity across economic development, education, and cultural activation. Photos used in the guide also appeared in an uptown art gallery in an exhibit called Life Signs: Northern Manhattan’s Nurturing Nature.
