🌊Every city in the world has its own water story, and New York City is no exception! Join us on December 18 for our last Malkin lecture of the year to hear Guggenheim fellow Lucy Santé interrogate how New York City tackled its growing need for sustainable water souces in the early 20th century. 

From 1907 to 1967, an extensive network of reservoirs and aqueducts was built across more than one million acres in upstate New York. This incredible engineering feat transformed New York City into the metropolis we know today but also led to the demolition and submersion of twenty-six villages in the Hudson Valley, profoundly altering their ecosystems.
