Presented by The Center for New York City Affairs and Milano The New School for Management and Urban Policy
“On The Waterfront: Finding the Balance for Development and Communities”
Space for new development is severely restricted in the New York metro region. While industrial use of the waterfront continues to decline, there is still a thriving import/export industry and the port jobs it creates. How can the city and region plan for the best use of the New York and New Jersey waterfronts for the benefit of their communities and the wider economy? How will the current financial crisis affect urban development and regional growth?
