WNYC Cityscapes has put a camera in the hands of a number of architects and landscape architects and asked them to describe how they see the city. Michael Van Valkenburgh, FASLA, a leading landscape architect, has created a number of videos as part of the series, including a new tour of the Brooklyn Bridge Park, which is in development.
According to Cityscapes, the Brooklyn Bridge Park includes 76-acres of parkland, stretching over a mile on the Brooklyn waterfront. 17 acres of Brooklyn Bridge Park will open by the end of the year, with another section coming online in summer 2010. 100 million USD of construction contracts have been awarded. 231 million USD out of the park’s 350 million USD construction budget has been allocated.
