This week a proposal to extend Manhattan was revealed
This week on Dezeen, Rutgers professor Jason Barr proposed extending Manhattan to add homes for 250,000 people to the city of New York.
Barr's scheme, which would be named New Mannahatta in reference to the indigenous name for the island, would see 1,760 acres of reclaimed land added to the tip of Manhattan.
The land would be covered with 180,000 new homes and surrounded with wetlands and marshlands to absorb storm surges.

Among the shortlisted schemes was a visitor centre by Dorte Mandrup (pictured), David Chipperfield's restoration of Berlin's Neue Nationalgalerie and a memorial park on the site of a former synagogue.
