MVVA’s 23-year story of transforming 85 acres of Brooklyn
waterfront into parkland that reconnects New Yorkers to the East
River Reclaimed from 1.3 miles of New York’s postindustrial
waterfront, Brooklyn Bridge Park is a place for escape, recreation,
and immersion in the natural world. Transforming parking lots and
crumbling piers into a living ecosystem, the project is an exemplar
of climate resilience, fiscal innovation, and joyful public space.
This book examines MVVA’s process of designing a park that went
from a remote possibility to an essential part of the city around
it.
