WATERFRONT RESOURCE LIST

As the region's leading clearinghouse on all things aquatic and waterfront related, we don't always know "the answer" to what you might be looking for. But chances are we know who has it. Below is an inventory of useful reports and documents published by some of our many partners which we have compiled in the process of creating the Action Agenda for the Waterfront. Please note this is by no means meant to be comprehensive, but if there is a glaring omission please do let us know. Also, of the more than 250 documents on this list, we have web links for only a quarter, so if you see a report on here with no link, please send us the URL so we can make this Resource List as user friendly as possible.

Atlas of Community-Based Plans:
The Municipal Art Society Planning Center, with assistance from the Community-Based Planning Task Force, has developed an interactive, online tool that compiles community-based plans in New York City. Planning for All New Yorkers: An Atlas of Community-Based Plans in New York City contains 87 individual plans, created since 1989, the year that the City responded to pressure from communities to simplify and strengthen provisions in the City Charter for 197-a planning (197-a plans are officially-recognized, community-initiated local plans). Click here to check out the Atlas of Community-Based Plans (or visit http://mas.org/planningcenter/atlas/).
