The Personality of Manhattan
Because NYC has dedicated resources to building and maintaining parks within all five of its boroughs with nearly 30% of its total land, the city is known as the Greenest Big City in America. Manhattan is a large borough that is home to the famous Central Park with its Central Park Zoo and acres of trees, grasses, and flowers.
Manhattan is a densely populated borough of New York City with a vital waterfront sector as well as its extensive parks. The West Side of Manhattan has undertaken "going green" in a much larger way than the remainder of the borough, resulting in the creation of many green collar jobs in that region.
If you look at the map below, you will see that the western portion of the borough contains the Upper West Side as well a portion of Midtown, Chelsea, West Greenwich Village, Soho, Tribeca and Battery Park City. All of these areas front the water of the Hudson river and offer city parks.

Greenways Increasing in the City
Manhattan maintains the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway along the Hudson River as part of the larger NYC waterways, open spaces, and greenways initiative and encourages cycling as a means of transportation in Manhattan and other boroughs.
An anchor point for the greenways initiative in NYC is Central Park in Manhattan with over 840 acres, along with many small neighborhood parks.
Jobs are increasing in all the business related to this green living project throughout this borough. Manhattan is improving the waterfront with energy efficient construction and moving in new green businesses, establishing additional public piers and recreation areas, expanding existing commercial and residential areas, and continuing its urban renewal projects with a new greener approach.
