Abstract
The post-industrial landscape of New York City offered thousands of acres of land and a hundred miles of waterfront for new uses. Over the latter half of the twentieth century, as many factories, large and small, moved to other parts of the northeast, the US or around the globe, large stretches of New York City’s waterfront (e.g. the Hudson River waterfront) became available for new uses. In the first generation of new parks and public spaces to emerge, however, the water was generally seen as a visual amenity.
