Although the proposal is dramatic, Barr believes that large-scale initiatives are needed to help solve the growing issues facing the city.

Manhattan Island extension could provide homes for 250,000 people Rutgers professor Jason Barr has proposed adding a 1,760-acre extension, named New Mannahatta, to the tip of Manhattan Island to combat climate change.
"Supersuperficie" (Supersurface), made by Superstudio in 1972, is one of the most original expressions of a design activity elaborated by architects in the form of a film. It was produced by Marchi Produzioni with a sponsorship of Anic, on the occasion of the "Italy: the New Domestic Landscape" exhibition curated by Emilio Ambasz at in 1972 in New York.
From the words of Superstudio: “In this exhibition, we present an alternative model for life on earth. We can imagine a network of energy and information extending to every properly inhabitable area. Life without work and a new 'potentialized' humanity are made possible by such a network…
…There will be no further need for cities or castles. There will be no further reason for roads or squares. Every point will be the same as any other (excluding a few deserts or mountains which are in no wise inhabitable). So, having chosen a random point on the map, we'll be able to say my house will be here for three days
two months, or ten years. And we'll set off that way without provisions, carrying only objects we're fond of. The journey can be long or short, in any case, it will be a constant migration, with the actions of living at every point along the ideal
line between departure and arrival.”
