	Battery Park City: Master Plan and Esplanade
		Battery Park City is built on what was once 92 acres of landfill and is now some of the most scenic and engaging open space in New York City, establishing an urban fabric of mixed uses that brought new life to lower Manhattan, sustaining it through difficult and turbulent times.
		The Battery Park City Parks Conservancy, a non-profit organization that maintains the green spaces, demonstrated its commitment following the events of September 11, 2001, when its 70-member staff and workforce arrived in force to begin the restoration of the gardens, most of which were covered with up to a foot of dust and ash.
		Battery Park City is a success because the Battery Park City Authority is a visionary owner dedicated to sustaining the energy of the master plan and being a patron of a well-designed public space.
