A Report of the Second Regional Plan

view report pdf

This staff report is the first of several dealing with environmental quality. It explores urban design principles through which man-made development and natural beauty can be combined successfully.

While the Lower Hudson is a unique area in the Region, the approach to the problems and opportunities there is applicable to other old industrial riverfronts ripe for redevelopment.
