Or if we imagine the New York City metropolitan area, currently home to 12 million people, but 12 million people in the future, perhaps living at the density of Manhattan, in only 36 percent of the area, with the areas in between covered by farmland, covered by wetlands, covered by the marshes we need.
Imaginons l'agglomération de New York, qui compte actuellement 12 millions de personnes, mais qui aurait dans le futur la même densité que Manhattan, sur seulement 36% de la surface actuelle, les zones ainsi libérées couvertes de fermes, couvertes de zones humides, couvertes des marais dont nous avons besoin.
