The film shows how New York City has twenty-one Industrial Business Zones. Eighteen of these are located in waterfront sites. Global warming, sea level rise and extreme weather conditions threaten the IBZs, their ecosystems, and the prosperity of their communities. This project aims to provide a resiliency framework to protect the waterfront Industrial Business Zones through the lens of Ecology, Community, and Economy.
