Under Gridded City

Subways, steam pipes, sewers—and even our electrical grid—are part of an underground infrastructure every bit as vital to our lives as the street grid and buildings above.

Join Kate Ascher, author of The Works: The Anatomy of a City (Penguin 2007) as she moderates a discussion with Craig Covil, Civil Engineer and Partner at Arup; Paul S.Mankiewicz, Executive Director of the Gaia Institute; and others, examining the largely unseen gridded systems that keep our city going.
