A symposium sponsored by
Bloustein Local Government Research Center, Rutgers University
and American Planning Association New Jersey Chapter

Since the 1990s the 19-mile Hudson Waterfront area has experienced intensive development, consisting largely of high-density residential buildings, office towers, and retail centers. The Bloustein Local Government Research Center at Rutgers University’s Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy and the American Planning Association New Jersey Chapter are pleased to present this symposium about the history of the area and its future.

Moderated by Bloustein Local Director and University Professor Raphael J. Caprio, and Senior Research Fellow Marc Pfeiffer, the program includes a macroeconomic overview of the region, presentations by representatives from Jersey City, Weehawken and Edgewater, all waterfront municipalities that have experienced significant impact from Gold Coast development, and a prominent developer’s view of the region’s future.

This Friday morning event is free and includes light refreshments & networking opportunities.
