Summary:
In the mid-1960s, New York City Mayor Robert Wagner assembled a team of the best and brightest urban designers and architects to decide the future of downtown Manhattan. After six months of drawing and discussion, they produced "The Lower Manhattan Plan", a 368-page document that was hand-typed, hand-bound, and photocopied. Only one hundred copies were made. But in spite of the limited number, this became the most influential document in determining the physical appearance of lower Manhattan. Now, as the future of downtown Manhattan is being reconsidered, "The Lower Manhattan Plan" takes on new relevance, offers new parallels for transforming Manhattan, and provides a thoughtful and careful consideration of many issues that are as pressing today as they were when the World Trade Center were just beginning construction. This complete reprint of the original document has an introduction by Skyscraper Museum Director Carol Willis and an essay by urban historian Ann Buttenwieser.

For hundreds of years, the shorefront of Manhattan Island served as the country’s center of trade, shipping, and commerce. With its maritime links across the oceans, along the Atlantic coast, and inland to the Midwest and New England, Manhattan became a global city and home to the world’s busiest port.

Summary:
For hundreds of years, the shorefront of Manhattan Island served as the country’s center of trade, shipping, and commerce. With its maritime links across the oceans, along the Atlantic coast, and inland to the Midwest and New England, Manhattan became a global city and home to the world’s busiest port. It was a world of docks, ships, tugboats, and ferries, filled with cargo and freight, a place where millions of immigrants entered the Promised Land. In "Waterfront Manhattan", Kurt C. Schlichting tells the story of the Manhattan waterfront as a struggle between public and private control of New York’s priceless asset. Nature provided New York with a sheltered harbor but presented the city with a challenge: to find the necessary capital to build and expand the maritime infrastructure.
