Review Quotes:
"Gordon argues that Battery Park City is a remarkably successful urban development project, and that its implemented plan, prepared largely by Cooper Eckstut Associates, was an admiral combination of postmodern and new urbanist development." - Journal of American Planning Association
" Superbly designed for economic development professionals [and] urban design and planning firms." - Mitchell L. Moss, New York University
