New Mannahatta would be bigger than the Upper West Side \u2014 which is 1,220 acres \u2014 and could fit a comparable amount of housing: close to 180,000 units, ranging from brownstones to mid-level and high-rise apartment buildings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImagine replicating from scratch a diverse neighborhood that contains housing in all shapes and sizes,\u201d Barr hyped.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/manhattan-proposal.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"jason barr proposal manhattan\" class=\"wp-image-20889889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/manhattan-proposal.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/manhattan-proposal.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/manhattan-proposal.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>A rendering of Barr\u2019s proposed extension.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Jason Barr<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In addition to physically providing more land to help NYC better meet the demand for residential housing, it would also \u201cpush vulnerable places like Wall and Broad Streets further inland, and the peninsula can be designed with specific protections around its coastline to buffer itself and the rest of the city from flooding,\u201d he explained of its global warming-based <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eal. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBuilding the land at a higher elevation would further improve its protective ability, and the new peninsula could recreate historic ecologies and erect environmental and ecological research centers dedicated to improving the quality of New York\u2019s natural world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Not everyone is on board, however. <\/p>\n<p>In a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.curbed.com\/2022\/01\/new-york-new-mannahatta-climate-change.html\">response piece for Curbed<\/a>, writer Willy Blackmore pointed out that the \u201cclosest counterpart\u201d to Barr\u2019s New Mannahatta are the landfill-based neighborhoods that Robert Moses constructed along the Jamaica Bay waterfront. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow have those fared over the years?\u201d Blackmore quipped. \u201cQueen\u2019s Broad Channel \u2014 with its houses on stilts extending over marsh-grass-dotted shallows \u2014 is arguably the most flood-prone neighborhood in the city, and has the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/01\/07\/nyregion\/new-york-city-flood-maps-fema.html\">highest proportion<\/a> of <em>repeat<\/em> flood-insurance claims.\u201d\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
