In the fall of 2014, City as Living Laboratory (CaLL) continued its BROADWAY: 1000 Steps project with a series of walking dialogues between artists and scientists. CaLL began conducting walks along Broadway in 2011 at the invitation of the Municipal Art Society. Building on earlier walks that have spanned the 18-mile length of Broadway, these WALKS focused on three hubs of the avenue: 125th Street in Harlem, 34th Street in The Garment District, and Chinatown. The artist/scientist teams discussed, between themselves and the public, a variety of environmental challenges along the Broadway corridor, with a particular focus on surrounding neighborhoods.
