Buffalo's Waterfront Renaissance
Author: Gene BunnellPublisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438499108
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
This book tells the remarkable story of how Buffalo's post-industrial waterfront was reclaimed for public use and enjoyment and pays tribute to the many local citizens and nongovernmental organizations that made the city’s waterfront renaissance possible. After years of litigation, public controversy and debate, preservationists and environmentalists ultimately succeeded in persuading the state to abandon its contentious plans for privately developing Buffalo's waterfront. Gene Bunnell, an experienced urban planner, lays out the Buffalo waterfront's long and troubled history, from the torrent of shipping and commercial activity that was unleashed by the opening of the Erie Canal, to the contamination of the Buffalo River due to waterside industries, to how the Outer Harbor—the last portion of the waterfront to be industrially developed—was reshaped and contaminated by filling in low-lying areas with a toxic mix of waste materials. Drawing on interviews and articles, editorials, and op-eds from The Buffalo News, Bunnell provides the reader with a "real-time" sense of how the struggle over the future of Buffalo's waterfront unfolded and the ultimate victory by local activists to secure environmental cleanup, restored natural habitats, and expanded public waterfront access.

Book Description
It's a great time to discover, explore, and be an active part of Buffalo's dynamic waterfront. On, near, or under the water, child or adult, there's something for everyone to love. Our waterfront is now a destination full of excitement and has a palpable new energy that's positively a cause for celebration. This book captures our waterfront's storied past and it's spectacular transformation to where we are today. The best chapters have yet to be written. As a city and as a region, we are completely inseparable from our waterfront. It's an embarrassment of wealth that is our connection to our past, present, and future. We depend on this water for our power, recreation, industry, and agriculture.It has separated us in war, and it's what binds us in peace. And for good and for bad, it dictates our weather. It's our identity to the world, reflecting our radiant beauty. In short, our water is the glue that binds us together. This fluid connection, however, is only a magnificent illusion. The same water we gaze out upon today isn't the same water we'll see tomorrow. While seemingly abundant and permanent, our glue is constantly racing away at the staggering rate of 750,000 gallons per minute. We dedicate this book as a celebration of its journey.
