"Imagine Lower Manhattan as a sophisticated network of pocket parks and green patches. Imagine Downtown's forthcoming "Remembrance Garden," dedicated to the victims of the Sept. 11th attacks, joined by efforts to celebrate the living--to improve residents' health and quality of life, to advocate for equitable transport and housing solutions, and to spark a debate about the area's environmental future. These are the visions of Green Ground Zero (GGZ), a New York-based organization dedicated to promoting sustainable development in Lower Manhattan."
