would be provocative in a disorienting way to think NYC's greening via the Hudson valley, all the way up to albany, rather than the usual "metropolitan region". what's confusing about this orientation is that it reflect a much older spatial orientation of the city--when manufacturing dominated, and exports, the river was a key source of goods traffic. it also raises the question, is such an orientation necessary for making NYC trully "green"/sustainable? or is the river "incidental"? Bioregionally it can't be, tho i suppose it may be only one of (more than one)axis.
