Victoria will also host a representative from Union Square Wines, who will talk about local New York wines, going hand in hand with hMa’s vision of Sustainable best practices, including the promotion of local foods, to reduce the use of greenhouse gases in the distribution of food products. As the master plan architects for Battery Park City's North Neighborhood, hMa wrote design guidelines promoting the implementation of cutting edge green design in a high-rise dense urban development.  Food Urbanism is one part of hMa's vision for their design of the urban realm, and hMa is promoting the development of shops with local food sources at the site.
