  abstract: "MVVS's 23-year story of transforming 85 acres of Brooklyn waterfront into parkland that connects New Yorkers to the East River. This book is a visual biography of Brooklyn Bridge Park, which began as a dream of local activists in the 1980s and is now an essential part of the city around it, with over five million visitors each year. With authoritative text by the MVVA design team and over 300 photographs and drawings, the collection reveals the process behind the colossal project and brings the sensory experience of the landscape to life."--
  abstract: "Reclaimed from 1.3 miles of New York's postindustrial waterfront, Brooklyn Bridge Park is a place for escape, recreation, and immersion in the natural world. Transforming parking lots and crumbling piers into a living ecosystem, the project is an exemplar of climate resilience, fiscal innovation, and joyful public space. This book examines MVVA's process of designing a park that went from a remote possibility to an essential part of the city around it."--
