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.
又或者，当我们想象，纽约市的大都会地区， 目前是一千两百万人的家， 但未来可能将有一千两百万人住在曼哈顿的人口稠密区， 那仅仅是本区36%的土地面积， 其间被人们所需的农田、 湿地、 沼泽覆盖。
