Re-designing existing urban infrastructure to accomodate environmental sress is rarely glamourous. There are responsible urban developers and irresponsible developers working on this problem. The
urban consequences from both are entwined with larger resource issues. The Upper West side of Manhattan, in New York City is now engaged in a legal battle over exactly these questions of
accountability. What are the implications from this case study, for larger global environmental concerns? How does one fight for environmental justice for an entire, complex system, at the economic

How bad can it get? Two years ago, shortly after the "Virtual Concerts" began, Marda Kirn, of the EcoArts Network, initiated the "Weather Report" show with Lucy Lippard, for BMCA and put Dr. Jim
White, carbon emissions scientist and Director of the INSTAAR Institute, at UCB, and Aviva Rahmani together to collaborate on new work. The results, "Tipping Points/ Trigger Points." is still being
shown internationally, now in Russia in, "In Transition, Russia." White forecast that around now, we would enter the fast phase of climate change. Together, from the research, the team foresaw
