Marga Advises the Earth Institute

Marga Incorporated will serve as a “Strategic Advisor” to Columbia University’s Earth Institute’s new Urban Design Lab. Marga will assist this new effort in forging its strategic direction, bringing research, ideas, facilitation in order to inform how this Ford Foundation-funded effort will become a core component within the Earth Institute. Marga;s outside informed eye will be able to provide the leadership of the Urban Design Lab with critical feedback on its overall strategy and two of its emerging projects.

The Lab seeks to bring a design element to community and economic development in various New York City neighborhoods. For example, it intends to advise the development of a plan to extend green space across the northern end of Manhattan alongside the Hudson River. In an effort of this sort, Marga can conduct helpful research, poll key participants in the effort at the University and in the City, and help conceptualize a rationale, goals, and objectives that can inform future proposals for additional funding.
