As green space is central to Battery Park City, Battery Park City Authority and the Parks Conservancy have been committed to “green” practices since their inception. Former BPCPC Executive Director Tessa Huxley says “Nineteen years ago, what we were doing was revolutionary. Now many of our practices are commonly found not only in the business arena, but in the home.”
"Battery Park City and the Authority are not just about the buildings – it’s about the character of the community that has developed over time. Public space has had a new renaissance in New York City, but here in Battery Park City is where it started."
