New Chicago Riverfront ~ Studio Gang's Green...

Inhabitat's Amanda Coen writes how Invasive Species Threat Inspires Jeanne Gang to Reimagine Chicago’s South Side...

"...a solution that would create a barrier between the Mississippi River and Lake Michigan, restoring the natural flow of the Chicago River while also helping to introduce green infrastructure and revitalize a neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. [...] a hydrological barrier would create a second waterfront in the form of an inland lagoon. Not only would it drastically change the landscape of Chicago’s South Side and deter the invasive carp species, but it would also force the city to re-think its wastewater treatment system so that cleaned water could be returned to Lake Michigan rather than flowing downstream."
