Innovative design ideas for New York City's East River Waterfront esplanade that would integrate it with its larger urban context are called upon by this interesting urban/landscape design competition organised by CIVITAS. The design should attempt to rethink the pedestrian experience along the waterfront area and create a rich and spatially exciting zone of urban activity and integration, a place of escape and relaxation for people of all ages and backgrounds.
Architects, landscape architects, urban planners, students, artists- anyone can participate.
