New Prospects for the New York City Waterfront
The New York City waterfront is in the midst of an economic and physical renaissance. After years of neglect, municipal agencies, citizen groups, and private developers are focusing their attention on revitalizing the city shoreline. The Koch administration's emphasis on waterfront redevelopment has improved the prospects for revitalizing New York City's coast and recommends the following for New York City's agenda: to reduce regulatory barriers to waterfront construction; improve access to existing beaches and waterfront parks; stimulate tourism on the waterfront outside Manhattan; foster marine recreation on the city's waterways; and take an active role in federal policies affecting the waterfront. It is believed that an intelligent waterfront policy should both generate revenues and improve the liveability of the city.
