JAMAICA BAY PARKLANDS VISION PLAN
Hargreaves Associates has been selected by the National Parks Service and the New York City Parks Department to generate a vision plan for the 10,000 acres they jointly own on New York harbor's Jamaica Bay. This joint initiative, announced in the summer of 2011 by Secretary of the Interior Salazar and Mayor Bloomberg heralds a momentous opportunity for the combined resources of each to be re-imagined as a cohesive place that will be a destination for regional, national and international visitors alike who seek it's wild beauty, historic resources and recreational opportunities, juxtaposed with remnants of our nation's military and industrial history. The vision plan will address the actions critical to the bay's ecological recovery after generations of fill, dumping, water pollution and resource depletion as well as the effects of rising sea level. The result will be a vision to guide the coming decades in the creation of unique and diverse places for respite and recreation, educational opportunities and community outreach within the context of a growing and diverse urban environment.
RICHMOND RIVER PLAN
The city is preparing to award a $490,000 contract to Hargreaves Associates of Cambridge, Massachusetts, for a design plan for land along the James River in downtown. The design plan, a follow-up to the Downtown Master Plan, is expected to look at ways to improve and expand public access along the riverfront, which could include Mayo Island and the site of the proposed Echo Harbour development. The plan will focus on the north and south banks of the river from the Robert E. Lee Bridge to the Henrico County line and Ancarrow's Landing.
UNIVERSITY OF MONTPELLIER
Hargreaves Associates is in charge of reflecting about a mode of management of waters and the natural spaces in echo with the urban, landscaped and architectural project conceived by the group. The project aims at the excellence in innovation and in exemplary nature. It bases itself on the principles of pragmatism for the consideration of the risk and for the control of needs in later management. The singular situation of Montpellier offers its unique assets to establish a major Mediterranean pole in the management reasoned by water resources. The coexistence of both opposing situations of the excess and the deficit of water confers naturally on the town from Montpellier, this place of laboratory to meet the challenges of the alternative management of the resource which the Mediterranean Basin will have to find in the next decades. The University of Montpellier which has to become an international leading pole, also has to offer a living environment to its image. It has to integrate an ambitious environmental approach and reach the excellence in the management of the water and the natural spaces.
HAIHE RIVERFRONT LANDSCAPE DESIGN
Hargreaves Associates is currently working on the Conceptual Landscape Plan and Schematic Design for the riverfronts that surround the Tianjin Binhai New Area located in Tanggu. The overall planning area fronts both sides of the Haihe River as it gracefully bends around the new Central Business District on the Yujiapu peninsula before it connects to the Bohai Sea. This ten kilometer stretch of open space is coordinated with the Master Planning vision led by Skidmore Owings & Merrill and aims to reinforce the adjacent land uses, transportation patterns, infrastructure, culturally significant sites and natural ecologies. Site specific open space programs, landscape typologies and key features of the plan are woven into a larger system of upper and lower riverfront promenades.
