BuildBoston Workshop A47 - Landscape and Urbanism - 1:00 - 2:30 pm

Landscape urbanism, ecological urbanism, agricultural urbanism . . . all new branches (or nuanced branches) of thought that investigate the relationship of landscape architecture to sustainable contemporary urban design. With the recognition of global warming, dwindling resources, increased population and urbanization, there is a rapidly growing realization that we need to relearn how to design, and live in, our urban human (and other) habitat. This panel brings together a diverse group of landscape architects, urban designers, ecologists and planners to consider specific landscape frameworks and strategies that positively impact the structure, experience and longevity of our cities.

On October 6, 2009, Mark Mauriello, acting Commissioner of the NJDEP, held a press conference at the El Paso site to announce the recent BDA designation. Members of the NJDEP, Woodbridge Township, local property owners, environmental consulting firms, and other local organizations gathered at the site to discuss the positive impact of the designation and impressive plans for the redevelopment of this area. The Mayor of the Township, Honorable John E. McCormac, was particularly enthused by this designation as it will support economic and ecological revitalization of this area that has remained stagnant for decades. In his speech, he alluded to the Township’s plans to promote green development, including renewable energy facilities, within the BDA that will provide for sustainable business opportunities and public enjoyment and access along the Raritan River waterfront.

Also sharing the spotlight at the event were representatives of the El Paso Corporation, Mark Ferris and Brian Johnson. Although the funding will not be directly available to El Paso as the principal responsible party undertaking a site remediation on their property, El Paso expressed their support of the Township’s ongoing efforts to improve this degraded area. El Paso, who has already spent millions of dollars on the environmental cleanup and ecological restoration of their 180-acre property, applauded the support of the Township and other local stakeholders, such as the Edison Wetlands Association, and their commitment to enhancing the economic and ecological viability of the area.
