Most Endangered Places for 2004 THE "NEW SOUTHWEST" STEWARD: VARIOUS PRIVATE OWNERS
|
||
The “New Southwest” section of Washington is a near-pristine example of American urban planning for the 1960s, with rich examples of the period’s best architects’ and landscapers’ work. Current plans for redevelopment of the area’s commercial center and the Southwest Waterfront itself are proceeding in cooperation with the local community. However, the residential developments are currently threatened by demolition and infill development, and residents are concerned about protecting the quality of life of Southwest Waterfront and Capitol Park by maintaining the character of living in an urban park-like setting. DCPL would like to establish a template for the future, which encourages development that is sensitive and complimentary with the design intentions, character, and context of the original plans and strives to protect the green space and urban park settings.Home | About
