Summary:

"Battery Park City in lower Manhattan has been hailed as a triumph of urban design and is considered to be one of the success stories of American urban redevelopment planning." "This case study takes a practice-oriented approach, examining the role of planning and development agencies in implementing urban waterfront redevelopment. It describes the political, financial, planning and implementation issues faced by public agencies and private developers from 1962 to 1993. The study focuses upon the experience of the central actor: the Battery Park City Authority (BPCA)."--BOOK JACKET.
