  • Urban Umbrella Construction Shed
    Sidewalk construction sheds, no matter how necessary, are complete eyesores that weave across nearly 200 miles of New York City streets. But the steel and plywood monstrosities will soon be replaced with a safer, more aesthetically-pleasing structure. In early December, the first <a href="http://inhabitat.com/nyc/urban-umbrella-urbanshed-competition-unveils-the-winning-prototype/" target="_blank">Urban Umbrella</a> construction shed will be installed at 100 Broadway.
