The waterfront south region of Camden is a neighborhood that is surrounded by active industries that include a metal recycling facility, an incinerator and a massive sewage treatment plant. It is severely lacking in a usable green space. As a city with upcoming green infrastructure strategies, Camden has a dearth of spaces that can be used by the community for relaxation and outdoor entertainment. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) along with Cooper’s Ferry – a non-profit organization, has worked towards reclaiming and developing a part of the waterfront for the community. The main objective is to connect the community to its water. The goal of this project is developing a design strategy for the NJDEP which aims at creating a waterfront that offers open space recreation, waterfront access, educational opportunities, connection to Camden’s history and economic development that lead to urban environmental transformation. The case studies for this project are Hoboken waterfront and Chicago Riverwalk – two successful waterfronts of recent times.
