Discount New York Car Rentals and the Brooklyn Center for the Urban Environment

Regional Information

Theatre and Art

For many people, the term "urban environment" is an oxymoron. To them, urban landscapes lack any environmental relevancy; in fact, they're completely devoid of all the things one normally associates with the natural environment. If you're one of these people, it's time to change the way you think about urban areas - it's time to visit the Brooklyn Center for the Urban Environment. This unique facility is dedicated to providing customers of Action Discount New York Car Rentals with information on all of NYC's environments - be they manmade or naturally occurring. The healthy and sustainable development of New York City starts with environmental understanding, so why not start your discount New York car rentals vacation at the Brooklyn Center for the Urban Environment.

Get your hands dirty with urban ecology

There's no better way to teach environmental awareness then by actually going out and interacting with nature. That's why the Brooklyn Environmental Center uses hands-on explorations to engage students and community members in scientific studies of the city. The focus of these classes is almost always on the interconnectivity of ecological systems in local urban environments, fostering in travelers and residents alike a sense of stewardship and environmental involvement. Discover your inner scientist by observing, experimenting, creating and dissecting the world around you at the Center for the Urban Environment.

Combining art and environmentalism

Explore the built environments of NYC in an entirely new way during your upcoming discount New York Car Rentals vacation by enrolling in a community urban design class at the Center for the Urban Environment. These programs help students develop an appreciation for manmade environments through experiential learning and inquiry-based activities. Customers of Action Discount New York Car Rentals will enjoy activities like neighbourhood walks, mapping projects and multi-media presentations while enrolled in the classes, as well as engaging in their own architectural design projects. For more information on community programs in urban design, please contact Peachy Cao at 718-788-8500 extension 215.
