The city's pursuit of a revitalized lakefront will have a formalized steward going forward that will be dedicated to its future and well-being.
On Friday, City Hall announced the creation of the North Coast Waterfront Development Corporation, an organization formed to carry out the design concepts James Corner Field Operations has been showing off this year in continuously updated forms.
"This focused and purpose-driven entity is the way to ensure that our planning translates into action,” Mayor Justin Bibb said in a release. “This is a long-term project, and the development authority model is a best practice that ensures the work continues, regardless of future leadership changes.” It's no secret that a city's waterfront is some of the most cherished land, even when, like in many industrial cities, it goes vastly underused. Architects are often called in with brainy notions of what that water's edge could be—an outlet mall, an amphitheater, or, like in San Francisco,, all have similar waterfront corporations that keep track of what's good and bad for the city's overall health and prosperity.
