New York is not just rising in the skyline, it is very slowly sinking too 🤯 Scientists estimate New York City has over a million buildings weighing roughly 1.7 trillion pounds. That kind of load helps pull the city down around 1 to 2 millimeters each year, on top of natural subsidence and rising seas. When you stack that much concrete, steel, and wealth on a city, it slowly starts to sink into the ground. #NewYork #ClimateRisk #CityFacts #UrbanWealth #FutureProof
