Civic Center is a district in New York City. It was featured in a transformation in the Life After People Special Documentary 2008.
Eric Sanderson speaking about Foley Square.
1000 years after people
Here we are, in Foley Square, the administrative center of New York City, and location to the famous courthouses you see on TV. this place hasn't always had such colossal buildings and stony streets. once upon a time, 400 years ago, the collect pond was here, the freshwater source for New York City. right behind me, there was a stream that drained down to the Hudson River shore, another stream to the east river. and there was this beautiful pond that was nestled in an amphitheater of hills. so what would happen if all the people were to disappear? The buildings, they would tumble down. the soil would start to reform. trees would start to grow out of them. they would become the new hills, the new amphitheater around this place. nature would reestablish itself and slowly bring this place back into the green heart of what it means to be here on Planet Earth. -Eric Sanderson
