Freshkills Park, Without Borders

Charles A. Birnbaum was one of the speakers at the Parks Without Borders Summit. In “Urban Parks: From Dumping Grounds to Centers of Energy,” Birnbaum looks at how the initiative has come at a time when New York City’s parks are becoming beloved destinations after decades of neglect.  His examples include the revitalization of Central Park and Prospect Park, as well as recent additions like Brooklyn Bridge Park and Governor’s Island.
