The City of Richmond presents
Project for Public Spaces: "How to Create a Great Waterfront"
Thursday, July 16
Ethan Kent, VP of the Project for Public Spaces - A presentation on creating successful urban waterfront public spaces
Plant Zero, Manchester, 0 E. 4th Street
7:30am - 9:00am
Free admission
The Vice-President of the Project for Public Spaces (PPS) in New York City, Ethan Kent, is coming to Richmond to speak on key steps for creating great waterfronts. The public is invited to attend the talk, followed by a Question-and-Answer session.
As more cities envision their waterfronts as lively public destinations that keep people coming back, PPS will outline principles to make it happen. They are not all hard and fast laws, but rules of thumb drawn from 32 years of experience working to improve urban waterfronts around the world. The ideas can serve as the framework for any waterfront project seeking to create vibrant public spaces, and, by extension, a vibrant city.
Some of the waterfront projects that PPS has worked on include:
- Providence Foundation--Providence, RI
- Southwest DC Waterfront--Washington, DC
- The Cleveland Waterfront--Cleveland, OH
- Port of Melbourne Place Management--Port Phillip, Australia
- Mill River Park--Stamford, CT
