Tour starts at 156 Rivington St, RSVP
Explore Lower East Side climate and cultural solutions with a Green Map walking tour. We’ll start with a brief tour inside ABC No Rio’s new arts and activism space, an exciting Passive House on the Green Map, designed by Paul Castrucci Architect, that is set to open next year.
As we walk a scenic mile through gardens and a storied neighborhood, we’ll see how grassroots initiatives and innovative designs are helping reduce climate impacts while strengthening community bonds. Our tour concludes inside the newly elevated East River Park, where we’ll explore the East Side Coastal Resilience project, the freshly opened Amphitheater, and more.
Led by Wendy Brawer, Green Map’s Director, the ABC No Rio tour will be led by its director, Gavin Marcus.
Restrooms available | Drinking fountain or water bottle filling station
Want to create a portrait of your community’s nature, culture, social justice and green living resources? Green Map System supports locally-led Green Map projects that create expressive, perspective-changing maps which act as practical guides for residents and tourists, and comprehensive inventories for decision-makers. Mapmaking teams pair the non-profit’s open source icons, adaptable engagement and mapping tools with local knowledge and leadership as they chart the environment of home. With a new mapping platform and App, Green Map making is free for non-commercial projects and has already expanded to 65 countries.
