New Urbanist Walking Tour of Battery Park City

The Congress for the New Urbanism’s New York State Chapter will conduct a Battery Park City walking tour.  The approximate one-hour tour will show firsthand the design characteristics that make Battery Park City a better place to live and a model that helped build the principles of New Urbanism. New Urbanism is a planning and development approach based on the principles of how cities and towns had been built for the last several centuries: walkable blocks and streets, housing and shopping in close proximity, and accessible public spaces.   The tour will be led by Zeke Mermell, AICP, LEED AP, a Senior Urban Designer, Sam Schwartz Engineering.

The meeting place for the tour will be given when your registration is confirmed.
