Enter
to win the opportunity to attend the Waterfront Alliance's 2017
Waterfront Conference as one of our Arcadis Waterfront Scholars! Join
hundreds of attendees at the Waterfront
Alliance's annual gathering of waterfront stakeholders, planners,
environmental advocates, and other experts, to learn about what's ahead
for the future of our regional waterfront. The Conference will be held
Wednesday, May 10th aboard the beautiful Hornblower
Infinity, located at Pier 40 in Manhattan, and will feature breakfast,
lunch, and an afternoon harbor cruise.
Now
in its 10th year, the Waterfront Conference is the region’s premier
forum for discourse about our shared waterfront and waterways.
This year’s conference aims to assess the ways that the harbor can
provide value to the region and how best to sustain the waterfront as a
vital commercial, environmental, and cultural resource. It will also
analyze how progress can be measured to ensure that
the long-term goals of building resilient coastlines and clean waterways
are met. We will also be unveiling our Harbor Scorecard—a powerful
advocacy tool that will measure neighborhood by neighborhood—in both New
York and New Jersey—progress in the areas of
waterfront access, resiliency, and water quality.
We
want to hear from you! What do you think makes a waterfront good or
bad? What do you think some of the challenges will be facing
waterfronts in the next decade?
