Blue Chalk produced the Living City series in collaboration with The New York Times video department and metro desk. The six-part series looks at a range of major New York City and state infrastructure projects, from subways to waterways, waste management to steam systems.

First developed in the 1880s, New York’s steam system is the largest in the world. No other urban steam system comes close. “Living City: A City Shaped By Steam” looks at the history of the city steam system and explores how a technology that eliminated chimneys from the skyline in the early 20th century is helping reduce carbon emissions and provide a cleaner source of energy for New York in the 21st.

The Living City series is the first major initiative to come from NewsDox, a division of Blue Chalk Media designed to report and produce visual journalism with news organizations and knowledge brands.
