Tour 2 of the Museum's three thematic walking tours of Battery Park City focused on the commercial core with its 1980s skyscrapers of the original World Financial Center (now Brookfield Place) by architect Cesar Pelli, as well as the expansive North Cove Marina and its public realm. This walk investigated how the planning concept of public-private partnership was both the principle and economic engine of the Battery Park City project and how the goals of opening the waterfront to public access and recreation was realized over three decades.
Programs are supported by a Community Partnership with the Battery Park City Authority.
