NJ Productive Ecologies III - Identifying Relevant "Structures"


The map above highlights structures that we considered to be relevant to our overarching thesis, which is that current urban infrastructure (industry, etc.) is not only imposing on the natural wetlands, but ultimately creating a barrier for residents around them. This barrier is crucial to examine because there is more meaning to the idea of having ‘access’ to a natural ecosystem than to perceive it as a mere physical connection. It’s more-so about how that physical connection can create a way of thinking for people, which will help to not only protect the wetlands from further contamination, but to connect people to the natural environment that they often don’t realize they are a part of.
