A brief is a short version of a case study.
The Battery Park City Master Plan, adopted in 1979, has facilitated the private development of 8 million square feet (743,000 m2) of commercial space, 7.2 million square feet (669,000 m2) of residential space, and nearly 36 acres (14 ha) of open space in lower Manhattan, becoming a model for successful large-scale planning efforts. The strength of the master plan has allowed development to occur incrementally, thereby creating a neighborhood with a stable mix of uses and diverse architecture that blends into the existing New York City street grid.
