Better Waterfront

We believe that successful waterfronts begin with sound planning, time-tested urban design and an understanding that the water's edge belongs to the public.

"At least the planners put back some of the streets, quiet and bollard-protected though they may be. They understood that the street, not the building, is the fundamental building block of the city, and they had no desire to replicate the enormous superblock of the twin towers with its deadening, chilly plaza that was so windswept that it was often closed off to pedestrians. We did learn something over the last generation about how cities work, even if not enough."
