"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."
The flexibility of Battery Park City’s Master Plan and its clearly defined design guidelines put it squarely on track to become one of the most successful urban renewal projects in the world. The neighborhood has grown into a well-rounded community home to more than 13,000 residents and a thriving commercial presence, encompassed by 36 acres of world class parks and open spaces.
