Ho Plaza - New York City
Sunday, November 18th, 2007
The trees in Ho Plaza represent the estimated sea level rise in New York City between the years 2025 and 2250. The increases range from 9 inches in 2025 to 7.5 feet in 2250. Even slight sea level increases will increase the risk of storm related floods. A sea level rise of 3 feet would flood Lower Manhattan, including Wall Street, as well as flood subways, airports, and coastal areas.
