Skyscraper Museum Walking Tours: Business Core
July 15, 2021 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
4:00 PM, STARTS AT THE WINTER GARDEN AT BROOKFIELD PLACE
The second of the Museum’s three thematic walking tours of Battery Park City covers the middle zone of the commercial core with its 1980s skyscrapers of the original World Financial Center (now Brookfield Place) by architect Cesar Pelli, as well as the expansive North Cove Marina and its public realm. This walk investigates how the planning concept of public-private partnership was both the principle and economic engine of the Battery Park City project. We will consider how the office and retail precinct connects to lower Manhattan and the World Trade Center and how the goal of opening the waterfront to public access and recreation was realized over three decades. Tour duration is around 60 minutes.
