For nearly a decade, landscape ecologist Eric Sanderson has been working on the Manhattan Project. Above is a composite of Manhattan in 1609 adjacent to the present build. The image is part of a large scale effort called the "Human Foot Print," which aims to show the impact that humankind have had on the landscape. The New Yorker has a great article detailing the journey and also mention of a exhibit that may be set up in the Museum of Natural History.
Above is my neighborhood...which looks more like: this, today.
