New Town is an eco-human story spun along Newtown Creek, a four-mile estuary and Environmental Protection Agency Superfund site separating Brooklyn from Queens, blocks from where I lived for close to a decade. Once a fertile stream, channelization for commercial port traffic made it one of the most utilized—and polluted—industrial sites in the United States. Here, ecology meets manufacturing, oil refineries and spills, waste and recycling, placemaking and remediation, and the loaded promise of renewal.
