Waterfront Planning and Development: Proceedings of a Symposium

By A. Ruth Fitzgerald

Proceedings of a symposium at the ASCE Convention, held in Boston, Massachusetts, October 28-30, 1986. Sponsored by the Urban Planning and Development Division of ASCE. This collection contains 15 papers on waterfront planning and development. These papers present an all-inclusive picture of waterfront development from the idea stage, to the public rights established by the Public Trust Doctrine, to the federal, state and local units of government responsibilities, to the balance between private and public interests, to the incorporation of visual design and to actual case studies. Papers represent the concerns of the general public, permitting agencies, and those involved in the actual development and construction of waterfront projects. The location of projects include Boston, Massachusetts; Seattle, Washington; Norfolk, Virginia; Port of New York/New Jersey; Los Angeles, California; Providence, Rhode Island; Toledo, Ohio; Jacksonville, Florida; Middletown, Connecticut; and Racine, Wisconsin. Papers were written by professionals in the fields of law, engineering, planning, architecture, financing and economics--a complete spectrum of professional responsibility for waterfront planning and development.
