The Museum of the City of New York unveiled their Growing and Greening New York exhibit last month (running through Earth Day on April 22nd), which they collaborated on with PlaNYC and the Future of the City. Together their installation and program series "dissect the latest projects, innovations, and environmental initiatives that are shaping the future of New York City." Some panel discussions will focus on the rebirth of the South Bronx, the legislation and design of indoor bike parking in New York (no more icicles on your bicycles!), the lessons of ambitious "eco-cities" around the globe, and meeting LEED Platinum specifications.
The press release states: "By the year 2030, there will be a million more people living in New York City. And the city will have undergone a great transformation, becoming cleaner, greener, more responsible, and more robust--if the projections of PlaNYC2030 are correct, and if we take action on them now."

Well - a tip of the cap to MCNY, but New York has a very long way to go. Large parts of all five boroughs are still decrepit and traffic-choked.
Physically, i.e. judging by its infrastructure and buildings, New York is decidedly not modern. I'll go see this, but it's a wish, not a memorial.
Triboro you are correct to say the outer reaches of the city won't be greened. It will only be the areas that tourists visit and where a large number of knuckleheads from San Francisco with big whiny mouths are living.
"where a large number of knuckleheads from San Francisco with big whiny mouths are living"
Huh?
I am quite tired (already!) of the word "green" being used to mean environmentally ok. Green, green, green, green, green. Enough! Stop talking about it and do it!
Green-go HOME!
